The metaverse is shaping up to be the great revolution of the next decade, completely merging our daily lives with digital environments, fundamentally transforming the way we work, learn and socialize. To make it a reality, you need virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) glasses capable of offering total immersion without sacrificing portability, ergonomics or a reasonable cost. However, so far, no AR/VR model has managed to establish itself in everyday life: the most advanced ones are expensive, large, and with a limited field of view, while the simple versions forgo immersive quality.
In this context, InXR emerged to overcome this technological block, designing a three-dimensional (3D) holographic platform that allows the mass adoption of XR by enabling the next great technological platform; the metaverse. This platform will focus on the development of the first smart glasses capable of combining AR/VR (InLens glasses) and offering the most advanced immersive experience on the market, characterized by a >120º field of view (FOV) and high image quality. The InLens will also offer infinite depth of field and the ability to fully resolve the vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) responsible for eye strain in today's devices.
Inmersia is the coordinating company of the consortium and is a specialist in the design and development of advanced technological solutions (patented) in the optical, photonic and electronic fields; the CEMDATIC research center of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), in the formulation, development and integration of new functional materials for optoelectronic devices. Eurecat, Catalonia's leading research and technology centre, completes the consortium by bringing more than 15 years of experience in R+D+i in key areas such as functional electronics printing, integrated systems, advanced robotics, plastic printing and product innovation.
