XR2Industry 2nd open call for software integration
XR2Industry 2nd open call for software integration
Why is Gutenberg considered as the inventor of printing? Because he popularised a process, tailored at contemporary needs, taking advantage of a technical background and enabling a dramatic empowerment of knowledge sharing. XR2Industry will be the Gutenberg of XR. Its priorities are: data privacy, empowerment, industrial relevance, openness. To this extent Lynx, hardware platform carrier, gathered key partners alongside with UPV, project coordinator to address these issues towards an open platform: i) a research group (UPV) specialised in technological solution's acceptance, impact on workers delivering key insights in building the right platform, ii) a group of lawyers (LML) delivering key insights in ensuring GDPR compliance and related best practices, along with iii) companies excelling in developing compliant and relevant content, while mastering the technology (ALT, SSQ), iv) an expert partner in large scale delivery of VR/XR solutions (TKP) ensuring no hurdle impairs a full industrial empowerment, while industrial expectations and needs are brought by v) end users (GFP as partners and further through XR2Industry's Advisory board). In addition, FBA and FBC will provide a critical support in operating cascade fundings. These laters will empower stakeholders in technology structuration on XR platform, bring complementary insights on standardisation, and empower industrial users on the human-centric framework. Bringing XR to industry will be possible only when the full value chain is considered (knowledge holders, technology providers and integrators, distributors, end-users) as in XR2Industry. Moreover openness is key to enable empowerment, while not precluding partners' and third-parties' exploitation.

Objectif
The XR2Industry 2nd Open Call for software integration will select Developers of XR components (MidCaps or SMEs) designing interoperability and standardisation solutions for XR mass adoption.
Applicants have to focus on addressing one of the challenges proposed :
1- Development of a Tracking System for Virtual Reality (VR) Headset
2- Development of Avatar Customization Solutions in Virtual Reality
3- Development of the Industrial Digital Twin
4- Development of an eye-tracking service for Android-based standalone Headsets
XR2Industry is looking for projects that develop and integrate interoperable innovative software based on emerging technologies (such as 5G/6G, IoT, data, artificial intelligence, edge and cloud computing, and microelectronics), leading to the standardization solutions for XR mass adoption. Projects are expected to facilitate interoperability of XR solutions, merging hardware and software towards a smooth user experience. Standardisation actions are expected to benefit the whole XR community.
Critères d'éligibilité
We are looking for a single SME or MidCap registered as a legal entity established in the following countries:
● EU Member States and its Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT), or
● Horizon Europe Associated Countries
The results obtained by the beneficiaries' projects must be released under an open-source licence on a Git-type infrastructure provided and managed by the XR2Industry Consortium.
Technologies clés
5G/6G, IoT, data, artificial intelligence, edge and cloud computing, and microelectronics
Typologie de consortium
Each selected SME or Mid-cap will receive a maximum of 275.000€ (fixed lump sum), during the 12-month Support Programme which includes the following stages:
● Stage 1 Individual Mentoring Plan-IMP (2 months): up to 55.000€,
● Stage 2 Development (5 months): up to 110.000€,
● Stage 3 Integration (5 months): up to 110.000€.
The requested Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of the solution is defined from the initial 5 to 7.
