💡MUEXlab@FER showcasing DIGIPHY demos at Inventorium Day at ENT - Ericsson Nikola Tesla💡 Last Friday we had the great opportunity to showcase DIGIPHY project demos in the scope of Inventorium Day, organized by ENT - Ericsson Nikola Tesla. The event brought together researchers from ENT, FER, and FESB with the goal being to showcase internal and collaborative research activities and to foster future joint innovative ideas.   The DIGIPHY project (XR Communication and Interaction Through a Dynamically Updated Digital Twin of a Smart Space) aims to enable XR inter-personal communication and interaction, as well as the remote presence and interaction of persons and objects in the visual representation of a dynamically updated DT, spatially and temporally synchronized with a physical smart space. Project partners include the University of Zagreb / Sveučilište u Zagrebu - FER (coordinator), ENT - Ericsson Nikola Tesla, and Delta Reality. Lea Skorin-Kapov briefly presented the overall project aims, while team members Lea Brzica and Filip Matanović showcased ongoing work related to exploring QoE for a cross-reality chess game. Damir Kljajić and Mateo Paladin demonstrated mobile robot teleoperation via 5G and using a VR-based representation of a DT. A big thank you to ENT - Ericsson Nikola Tesla for hosting! Looking forward to next steps and joint research efforts😊

🎤 🌟 Last week Professor Lea Skorin-Kapov had the great opportunity to visit the Grupo de Tratamiento de Imágenes (GTI) at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and give a research talk on “𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗿𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀”. A big thank you to Professor Narciso García, Associate Professor Jesús Gutiérrez Sánchez, and the whole GTI team for organizing the talk and visit to the GTI lab, during which the team presented a number of inspiring demos showcasing innovative XR service design, application domains, and research challenges, in particular, related to the Incluverso 5G project and XReco project. During her stay in Madrid, prof. Skorin-Kapov also had the opportunity to visit Nokia XR Lab, hosted by lead scientist Pablo Pérez, where the team presented cutting-edge demos and discussed applications of XR, AI, and 5G/6G networks for supporting future human communication and collaboration. Looking forward to future collaborations! 😉
