About the VAM Realities Project

Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities (VR/AR/MR) play an increasingly important role in many areas of life and the economy, especially in the manufacturing industry. With the speed of technical developments and the mass of information, products and services available, however, it is difficult to keep track of things. How can you find out quickly and reliably which VAM solutions are the most useful and target-oriented for your needs?

In the VAM Realities project, higher education institutions, companies, and business representatives from all over Europe join forces to provide answers to these questions. The project’s online platform will offer unique networking opportunities, Europe’s largest network of VR/AR/MR experts and a comprehensive showcase of related EU projects.

During its 36 months’ lifetime, the VAM Realities project will achieve the following products and results:

European Survey with 300 SMEs to find out how much they know about the potential of VR/AR/MR and how they are already benefitting from these technologies. The study is still ongoing.
