Abstract

BRIDGES (A hyBRID (physical-diGital) multi-user Extended reality platform as a stimulus for industry uptake of interactive technologieS) is an Innovation Action under the H2020-ICT-2019-3 call, that started in October 2021. BRIDGES aims to support and boost the pan-European interactive technologies industry and contribute to “bridging” the gap between interactive technologies and industry, through the development of a holistic solution for (remote and co-located) group interactions in room-scale immersive mixed reality (or eXtended Reality – XR) environments that blend the physical and virtual space.
The BRIDGES solution is based on an existing Immersive Deck© platform, which was further enhanced and developed into a turn-key product with widespread applicability that may act as a stimulus for the uptake of interactive technologies by industry.
The solution has been validated in the real-world settings of two major international airports in Germany and Greece for training firefighters and first responders and in a museum in Greece to enhance the visitors’ learning experience. The industrial and commercial deployment of the proposed solution and scale-up guidelines for its uptake in the entertainment sector, are among the results.
