MOTIVATE XR

With the growing need for user-friendly XR tools across European Industries for training and on-site support, Europe must take proactive steps to develop its own XR solutions. MOTIVATE XR strategic challenge is precisely to contribute to the necessary effort to address this demand issue with an intuitive and cost-effective European XR solution tailored for industrial operations. By combining cutting-edge technologies like computer vision, machine leaning, AI and big data analytics, it aims to create a seamless and immersive experience that empowers users to learn and master complex tasks remotely. The XR tool will not only provide remote training, but also enhance existing functionality to ensure effective communication and expertise sharing between users making it easier for everyone to learn and succeed in their endeavours.

This ground-breaking, open, tightly integrated, and highly interoperable solution will be designed for, and usable by a wide range of users without programming skills, from the largest European industrials to handywomen/handymen, without requiring software development skills. It will offer an end-to-end solution to streamline the whole authoring and experiencing workflow thanks to novel portable 3D scanning and digital twin modelling solutions, No-Code authoring approaches and ground-breaking XR experiencing tools, including a next-gen European XR smart headset, all assisted by the latest advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Its result will then be evaluated in five complementary and ambitious pilots in different industrial sectors including aerospace, home appliance, aluminium, electric distribution, and hybrid human-robot industries. For this purpose, our project involves a complementary group of the best-in-class European experts and leading industries adopting a user-centric methodology coordinated by an SSH expert to ensure proper consideration of societal, ethical, and legal issues and ethical use of XR and AI technologies.
