VAM Realities - Virtual, Augmented, Mixed Realities

ABOUT VAM Realities

Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities (VAM Realities) 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, 11 higher education institutions (HEIs), companies (with a special focus on small and medium sized enterprises/SMEs) and business representatives from all over Europe have joined forces to provide answers to these questions. During the project’s lifetime of 36 months (start: 01/2020) the following products and results will be achieved:

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. Expected by 11/2020
