SPIRIT project

Telepresence represents the next generation of communication applications that will significantly improve immersive experiences in both human-to-human and human-to-machine interactions by blurring the physical and virtual worlds. While this is already influencing how we work, it will have an even greater impact in the future, contributing to increased resilience to environmental disruptions, industry productivity, and energy efficiency. Due to their complexity, cost, data compression, and bandwidth requirements, these solutions have not been scaled yet. SPIRIT, which is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme, will research, develop, and demonstrate low-latency and scalable solutions that will ultimately bring real-time immersive telepresence into practice.
