UTTER call for pilot (demonstrator) projects should further the design and implementation of XR models, aided by UTTER research and technology, enabling new types of human-human and human-machine interaction in new sectors.
Projects will develop and/or pilot applications using XR models, from UTTER or elsewhere, in new sectors, exploring new boundaries in XR interaction and aiming for high societal or commercial impact and provide valuable user feedback to UTTER, and collaborate and consult with UTTER researchers as needed.
Examples of welcome project objectives include the following:
The maximum amount of financial support is €60 000 per project.
Each funded project will receive a maximum of €60 000, depending on the proposal and funding appropriation. The funding takes the form of a lump sum contribution.
