“Projects addressing this call are expected to contribute to the development of the next generation of XR devices and applications, by exploiting cross fertilisation between technologies such as 5G/6G, IoT, data, artificial intelligence, edge and cloud computing, and microelectronics but also across domains of use such as (but not limited to education, manufacturing, health, cultural heritage, media and security).
Development and integration of advanced XR hardware components, such as displays, optics and sensors, for a new generation of XR devices providing greater visual, wearable, vestibular and social comfort with special relevance given to:
-Technical breakthroughs in photonics and new materials aimed at increasing image quality
-Displays that bring the capabilities of XR devices closer to human vision
-More efficient architecture for enhanced performance
-Novel systems that cater to the widest range of users
-Innovative XR connectivity components
-Novel materials with tailored properties for tighter integration of subcomponents
More realistic, more affordable and gender-neutral devices and applications, developed by European companies, respecting European values of ethics, privacy, security and safety, aiming at technological sovereignty and resilience. “
