In the framework of user requirements, we conducted interviews with the use case partners in the SUN project in order to understand better their needs and uncover insights and opportunities for desinging better the XR project pilots and applications. In this post, we...

When more than one modality (sensors, cameras, etc.) are deployed to a system for the same reason, it is essential to find robust and efficient ways to combine their data to improve the system’s performance. This is the role of multimodal fusion, a task researched by...

Rendering sense of touch in virtual manipulation is a challenging objective: acceptable dimensions and weight of wearable devices worn at fingertips is quite limited, on the other hand, interaction forces in physical manipulation are relatively high, requiring bigger...

IGOODI is strongly committed to the SUN XE Project's ambitious vision of building new, more believable, and more agile opportunities for human and social connection between the physical and virtual worlds. Towards this direction, our ability to generate...

Let's push the development of #XR solutions through our close partnership with Sun.HE We at Holo-Light are committed to emphasise the significance of The SUN Project, which is dedicated to find new ways to make XR more convincing and naturalistic. This project doesn't...

Collaboration in XR transforms the way users work together by providing an immersive shared environment that facilitates interactive experiences. In a collaborative environment participants can not only see each other’s position in space but observe their gestures or...

The Clinique romande de réadaptation (CRR) in Sion is a leader in Switzerland for the rehabilitation of patients suffering from musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. Innovation plays a key role in order to improve quality of care. At the CRR we try to provide...

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality can create more immersive experiences for people at work in order to make their job safer, by providing new ways to be aware of possible hazards and receive a better training on safety procedures. A XR experience can “come alive”...

The second Plenary Meeting of the SUN project was held on May 4 and 5 in Mellieha (MT). It was a great opportunity to update the works carried out by all partners and plan the activities for the next future.          

Blockchain technology, often associated with cryptocurrencies, has gained immense popularity in recent times. However, its potential applications go far beyond this. With the help of fungible tokens, it can facilitate value transactions, while non-fungible tokens can...

The physical inactivity seen all around the world does not only pose a risk for the individual but is also one of the strongest modifiable risk factors for morbidity and mortality, including cancer. Physical exercise has been suggested to reduce cancer recurrence and...

By the integration of Extended Realty (XR) technologies and a lot of different sensors, people suffering for disabilities can be immerse in a mix of realistic or imaginary worlds where they have to perform rehabilitative exercises guided by a virtual physiotherapist...

  Extended Reality (XR) technologies are powered by the interplay of multiple sensors, large volumes and types of data, and various algorithms and automatic systems. These advanced technologies will enable more immersive user experiences. However, these...

The SUN project started a co-creation process for gathering user requirements consisting of the following 3 phases: Inspiration phase: a wide potential users’ consultation Ideation phase: design of requirements including processes simulation  Implementation...

3D human pose estimation technology is used to transform 2D videos into 3D animated avatars that can be inserted in XR environments. In order to accomplish this task, appropriate deep learning algorithms are utilized to detect...

We all think about Virtual Reality mostly in terms of visual immersion: realistic or imaginary worlds we are free to explore and see through advanced visors and tracking systems. Yet when we "interact" in the real world, other senses are involved: grasping an object,...

SUN aims to develop extended reality (XR) solutions that integrate the physical and digital world in a convincing way, in order to create new opportunities for social and human interaction.    The project, which will run for 3 years, will assess the developed...

Let's push the development of #XR solutions through our close partnership with Sun.HE We at Holo-Light are committed to emphasise the significance of The SUN Project, which is dedicated to find new ways to make XR more convincing and naturalistic. This project doesn't...

TSI explores Glanceable Interfaces for XR technologies which are compact, enabling minimal information at a glance to avoid clutter, occlusion, and distraction. This is significant for ensuring safety in work areas minimizing the risk of accidents.  AR digital...
