Video conferencing and mixed reality are both forms of communication but based on very different technologies. Video conferencing does not provide an in-person feel to meetings and has several other drawbacks. In contrast, mixed reality has emerged as a technology that can provide a genuine feeling of presence, and better collaboration tools. The EU-funded CORTEX² project will bridge the divide between widespread video conferencing tools and innovative XR-based solutions to democratise the adoption of next-generation eXtended Reality tele-cooperation by industrial sectors and SMEs. The initiative will use and extend the widespread Rainbow teleconferencing solution from Alcatel Lucent Enterprise to allow for fully interactive XR-based cooperation. This will be demonstrated in three pilots: industrial production, business meetings, and remote training respectively.

Project description

Video conferencing and mixed reality are both forms of communication but based on very different technologies. Video conferencing does not provide an in-person feel to meetings and has several other drawbacks. In contrast, mixed reality has emerged as a technology that can provide a genuine feeling of presence, and better collaboration tools. The EU-funded CORTEX² project will bridge the divide between widespread video conferencing tools and innovative XR-based solutions to democratise the adoption of next-generation eXtended Reality tele-cooperation by industrial sectors and SMEs. The initiative will use and extend the widespread Rainbow teleconferencing solution from Alcatel Lucent Enterprise to allow for fully interactive XR-based cooperation. This will be demonstrated in three pilots: industrial production, business meetings, and remote training respectively.
