This community collects all material produced and published by the the Social and hUman ceNtered XR (SUN) Horizon Europe project (g.a. 101092612, https://www.sun-xr-project.eu/).
The project aims at investigating and developing extended reality (XR) solutions that integrate the physical and the virtual world in a convincing way, from a human and social perspective.
The Social and hUman ceNtered XR (SUN) project (g.a. 101092612, https://www.sun-xr-project.eu/) aims at investigating and developing extended reality (XR) solutions that integrate the physical and the virtual world in a convincing way, from a human and social perspective. The virtual world will be a means to augment the physical world with new opportunities for social and human interaction.
We will address the following limitations:
- Lack of solutions to develop scalable and cost-effective new XR applications;
- Lack of convincing solutions for mixing of the virtual and physical environment;
- Lack of plausible and convincing human interaction interfaces in XR;
- Barriers due to resource limitations of end-user devices; We will develop solutions to surpass current limitations, including:
- Development of scalable solutions to obtain plausible and convincing virtual copies of physical objects and environments;
- Development of solutions for a seamless and convincing interaction between the physical and the virtual world;
- Development of wearable sensors and haptic interfaces for convincing and natural interaction with the virtual environment;
- Development of artificial intelligence-based solutions to address current computing, memory, and network limitations of wearable devices;
The developed solution will be demonstrated in three real-life scenarios:
- XR for rehabilitation after accidents or diseases.
- XR in the industry to increase safety and improve social interaction among workers.
- XR to remove interaction barriers for persons with disabilities.
