Purpose and goal
The project aims to develop an innovative open-hand interaction platform designed to improve the usability and functionality of a wide range of devices in the XR industry. The platform should deliver intuitive and immersive interactions, with a particular emphasis on transforming vehicle design processes and enhancing XR simulation experiences in industries such as defence, healthcare, and education.
Expected effects and result
The collaborative project combines innovative hand interaction and cutting-edge XR hardware, elevating global XR solutions. It is expected to redefine the XR industry by improving vehicle design, meeting the demand for interactive experiences, and lowering the threshold for XR applications. Expected results include broader developer compatibility, longer hardware lifespan, better user experiences, and increased competitiveness for US XR manufacturers.
Planned approach and implementation
The project has a clear task allocation and active collaboration among team members, including device manufacturers and technical experts throughout the project implementation. The project is divided into three distinct work packages succeeding each other with clear sub-goals for each. Initially, the focus is on collaboration and integration, and in the next step, the training data is created, collected and refined. In the final step, the models are refined and demonstrated at each partner site.
