The BeyondXR Cluster is a strategic alliance of pioneering EU-funded projects dedicated to harnessing Extended Reality (XR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and robotics. While the initiative is rooted in transforming education and training, its vision extends far beyond the classroom.
The cluster serves as a collaborative engine, applying these advanced technologies to revolutionize key sectors, including manufacturing, immersive media, and the creative and cultural industries. By fostering synergies between diverse research teams, BeyondXR aims to drive industrial innovation and create a tangible, positive impact on society.
The cluster comprises some of the most innovative projects in the field, including:
- VOXReality: an initiative that aims to facilitate the convergence of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV) technologies in the Extended Reality (XR) field. VOXReality’s goal is to conduct research and develop new AI models to drive future XR interactive experiences, and to deliver these models to the wider European market.
- CORTEX2: Revolutionizing cross-industry collaboration through a cutting-edge XR platform, designed to break down barriers and facilitate seamless interaction across industries.
- XR5.0 Project: The XR5.0 project aims to build, demonstrate, and validate a novel Person-Centric and AI-based XR paradigm tailored to the requirements and nature of I5.0 applications.
- XR4ED: Building a European reference platform for EdTech and XR communities, enhancing learning and training with XR technologies, and creating valuable educational opportunities.
- MASTER: Advancing robotics training within the manufacturing sector, providing learners with hands-on experience and skills needed to thrive in an automated world.
- HECOF: revolutionize teaching in higher education through AI-driven, personalized, adaptive learning. Focused on Chemical Engineering, it leverages digital data to enhance student assessment and learning methods.
- augMENTOR: Revolutionise education by integrating emerging technologies into a pedagogical framework focused on developing both basic and 21st-century skills. Using an AI-boosted toolkit, the project will leverage machine learning algorithms to provide personalised learning pathways tailored to individual learners’ characteristics and preferences.
- XR2Learn aims to establish the cross-border creation of human-centric XR applications in education. The project will deliver its one-stop-shop platform, organised as a Digital Innovation Hub, for all actors involved in the XR-based educational applications supply chain, aimed at enhancing training in manufacturing and distance learning scenarios.
- SERMAS lays the foundations of next-generation XR systems, looking at how people relate and interact with the technology. Transform your eXtended Reality (XR) experience with SERMAS. Embrace social acceptance and discover our concepts, techniques, and tools that will help you discover the full potential of XR systems through coherent design, implementation, and deployment.
- TRANSMIXR aims to ignite the immersive media sector by enabling new narrative visions through the development and adoption of eXtended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The project focuses on advancing social XR and AI technologies for application within media production, delivery, and consumption, targeting the creative and cultural sectors.
