Connecting Europe’s XR Ecosystem: XR5.0 and XR2Industry Join Forces

<ns5:p>This blog presents ongoing collaboration between the Horizon Europe projects XR5.0 and XR2Industry. The objective of this collaboration is to ensure interoperability and alignment of XR5.0 technologies with emerging European XR infrastructures, supporting a sustainable and connected XR ecosystem for Industry 5.0. The two projects have initiated technical exchanges to explore integration opportunities between their platforms. Discussions have covered system architectures, XR platform services, device and content management approaches, and potential interoperability aspects such as metadata alignment, secure integration, and federated XR content sharing. XR5.0 has presented key technologies, including human-centric digital twins (Clawdite platform), XR training components, and generative AI services, to assess their potential relevance within the EU XR Platform. The collaboration focuses on identifying complementary capabilities and defining pathways for future technical alignment through joint workshops and continued exploration of interoperability approaches.</ns5:p>
