About
Making The Invisible Visible for Off-Highway Machinery by Conveying Extended Reality Technologies.
Project Summary
Even though extended reality (XR) technologies are not being fully implemented, they have the potential to offer substantial advantages to various sectors if further researched and advanced. The EU-funded THEIA-XR project will develop a set of XR technologies to expand workplace, workload and operation visibility for machinery operators. The technologies will improve worker-machine cooperation efficiency while also improving safety. The project approach will be validated by tests in three different sectors: snow grooming, construction and logistics. Finally, the project will work alongside stakeholders and researchers to develop a strategy for improved implementation of the proposed technologies in the workplace.
This project has received funding from Horizon Europe, the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation, under grant agreement No 101092861.

Our Role and Achievements
Our role in this completed project was the Project Management Office – PMO (subcontracted). In this role, we were supporting the project coordinator in administrative and managerial aspects of the coordination including communication with project partners. Our passion for communications showed here, as well – thus supporting in this aspect of the project execution.
