Project Details
Description
THEIA-XR (Making the invisible visible for off-highway machinery by conveying extended reality technologies) aims at improving
human-machine interaction in mobile machinery by enhancing user technology fit and extending reality technologies and
functionalities. The results will make the invisible visible respectively the non-perceivable perceivable to the human operator,
extending the perceivable range of the operator without negatively influencing the performance of the human while controlling the
machinery. The project will ensure positive impact of eXtended Reality technologies on the safety, security trustworthiness and
societal aspects of the interaction between the machine, the human operator and public/non-users, and furthermore create an XR
workplace that enables positive user experiences of self-efficacy and meaningfulness of work.
THEIA-XR will leverage a human-centred transdisciplinary and scenario-based co-design methodology with users, stakeholders and
multidisciplinary researchers as a fully integrated project team. This methodology serves to collect human requirements and to
design, develop and deploy the extended reality technologies for information presentation and interaction in the off-highway
domain. The targeted extended reality technologies will enhance conventional human-machine interfaces through multi-modal information and interaction technologies, deploying innovative data visualization methods, force feedback technology and acoustic information.
The THEIA-XR approach for improving the human operator tasks by deploying extended reality technologies will be initially validated and tested in three uses cases in the off-highway domain, targeting snow grooming, logistics and construction scenarios, integrating real end-users, public/non-users and real-life data from dedicated industrial environments.
