The XR4ALL project is a first initiative by the European Commission to strengthen the European XR/immersive technology industry and to accelerate its growth, connecting startups, companies, researchers and investors (angels, corporates, and VCs) active in XR. The main objectives are:
(1) create a pan-European (XR-tech) community
(2) discover existing EU XR technology
(3) develop a research agenda
(4) award grants for innovative technology projects
(5) increase investments & tech transfers to help products reach market
The workshop has three main objectives for participants:
(1) to provide a state-of-the-art overview on recent technology development and applications
(2) to give a network opportunity for members, stakeholders and innovators of the XR community in the health sector
(3) to shape a research agenda that will feed into the upcoming next framework programme Horizon Europe by the European Commission
The event will be of particular interest to:
-
- researchers from academia and industry
- representatives from hospitals and associations from health sector
- XR experience and technology developers from industry, SMEs and start-ups
The rapid outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Europe and the travel restrictions already imposed by many companies impact the programme and attendance of the XR4ALL workshop “Current State, Challenges and the Future of XR in Health”, scheduled on 20 March 2020, hosted by Fraunhofer HHI and 3IT.
As a consequence, the Programme Committee members regret to inform you that they have decided:
– to cancel the event scheduled on 20 March 2020,
– and postpone the event to a later date to be determined.
We understand that this may cause inconveniences to the participants who planned to attend, but we remain confident that the decision will be understood and shared considering the exceptional situation in particular when health is at stake.
We would like to thank you for your interest in the workshop and hope to see you when the event has been re-scheduled. You will be immediately informed as soon as a new date agreed.
On behalf of the program chair Oliver Schreer and coordinator of XR4ALL
