The Laboratory of Psychology and Technology of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló (LabPsiTec), led by Professor Azucena García Palacios, is part of the European consortium that will develop the CORTEX2 project "Real-time cooperative experiences with extended reality" with the aim of democratizing access to remote collaboration offered by next-generation extended reality (XR) experiences in a wide range of industries and SMEs.

This initiative, funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, is led by the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence and integrates ten partners from seven countries: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, LINAGORA-GSO, Alcatel-Lucent Entreprise International, Intracom SA Telecom Solutions, AUSTRALO Alpha Lab MTÜ, F6S Network Limited, Commissariat à la Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives, Actimage GmbH and UJI.

The proportion of people working from home has increased from 14.6% to 24.4% between 2019 and 2021 because of the pandemic. In Europe, the proportion of people teleworking has risen from 5% to 40%. Today, everything points to the fact that telework is here to stay: 72% of employees say their organization is planning some form of permanent telework in the future and 97% would like to work remotely, at least part of their working day, for the rest of their career.

But not all organizations are ready to adapt to this new reality, where team collaboration is vital. Existing services and applications aimed at facilitating remote team collaboration, from videoconferencing systems to project management platforms, are not yet ready to efficiently and effectively support all types of activities. Likewise, XR-based tools, which can enhance remote collaboration and communication, present significant challenges for most companies.

The project will invest four million euros in open calls with the main objective of recruiting new technology companies and SMEs to jointly develop CORTEX2. In addition, it will involve new use cases from different domains to demonstrate replication through specific integration paths and will also evaluate and validate the social impact associated with the adoption of XR technology in internal and external use cases.

CORTEX2 will provide, after the three-year project duration, full support for augmented reality experiences as an extension of videoconferencing systems; efficient teleconferencing tools through innovative transmission methods; powerful and easy-to-use XR experiences with instant 3D reconstruction of environments and objects; the fusion of vision and audio for multi-channel semantic interpretation; and the full integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices into XR experiences.

[CORTEX call for XR innovators](/com/investigacio/arxiu/noticies/2023/11/convocatoria-cortex2/)

The call will run until 16 January 2024 and will support 20 projects from a range of XR innovators, from technology start-ups and SMEs to research-oriented organisations.
