The project will deliver a one-stop shop platform, organised as a Digital Innovation Hub, for all actors involved in the XR-based educational applications supply chain. This platform aims at enhancing training in manufacturing and distance learning scenarios.

By leveraging the European XR industry technologies to empower immersive learning and training, XR2Learn platform will bring XR technology providers, application designers, education experts, application developers, end-users and decision makers in direct communication, collaboration and matchmaking interests, enabling also bottom-up innovation creation.
