INDUX-R

Transforming European Industrial Ecosystems through eXtended Reality.

INDUX-R develops a human-centric XR ecosystem to transform European industrial sectors by empowering humans and creating innovate XR products and services of significant added value.

The project targets for concrete scientific breakthroughs integrated in technological enablers to be applied in use cases driven from real-life needs while having the potential to be replicated in several other applications.

These devepelopments are focused on core XR technologies, namely, digitisation and creation of XR assets, realistic animation, light-field HMDs, XR media streaming and egocentric perception.

To address the challenges that multi-user XR applications pose, INDUX-R implements a highly scalable, zero-touch 5G architecture and a secure, interoperable IoT network that can accommodate fluctuating demands and minimize waste of resources.

The project use cases cover a wide spectrum of industrial ecosystems in event planning, Industry 4.0, virtual medical training, cultural tourism, and broadcasting of sports events where end-users participate in every step of INDUX-R.

Eurecat participates in INDUX-R through its Audiovisual Technologies Unit, responsible for the development of technologies for XR applications in Industry 5.0. In addition, the Unit collaborates in the case of virtual omniconferencing use through the acoustic digitization of spaces and 3D avatars, as well as in the case of use in the training of medical professionals, also with the creation of avatars.

The project consortium is made up by 20 European partners and is coordinated by CERTH – The Centre for Research & Technology Hellas.
