COLLIDE-XR 2.0 - XR visualization of underwater infrastructure for situational awareness and incident response

Purpose and goal

COLLIDE-XR 2.0 enhances XR-based visualization of underwater infrastructure for situational awareness and incident response. Engaging key stakeholders from Swedish industry and governmental agencies, the project tackles accessibility and usability barriers in XR technology. By leveraging code-free development tools, it showcases solutions for collaboration, scenario analysis, and decision-making, improving preparedness and response strategies for underwater infrastructure risks.

Expected effects and result

COLLIDE-XR 2.0 will deliver XR demos deployed across diverse technologies, assessing various accessibility aspects. The project will lay the foundation for innovative XR and AI-based solutions, enhancing the competitiveness of Swedish organizations while improving their collaboration efficiency and effectiveness. It promotes long-term partnerships and knowledge sharing among industry, academia, and government agencies in both the US and Sweden, paving the way for future collaborations.

Planned approach and implementation

The project follows an iterative, user-centered process led by BTH in collaboration with Flow Immersive and Swedish companies and authorities, integrating diverse perspectives. This synergy will leverage the expertise and competencies of each partner, co-designing and refining prototypes based on stakeholder feedback. The project will explore the use of newly built BTH visualization and testing facilities, maximizing the visibility of results and engaging local stakeholders.
