XRTwinScape

Project overview

XRTwinScape addresses a fundamental challenge in workforce training: preparing workers effectively in realistic environments without the risks and limitations associated with the use of physical spaces. Although training in real workplaces provides familiarity and practical experience, it also presents significant drawbacks, including safety concerns, the difficulty of replicating the same environment elsewhere, and limitations in training multiple people simultaneously. XRTwinScape proposes an innovative solution based on digital twins, highly detailed, full-scale virtual representations of physical workplaces, combined with immersive training lessons that enable contextual learning. By leveraging advanced technologies such as Gaussian Splatting, a non-conventional AI-based rendering technique that preserves exceptional visual detail, XRTwinScape enables the rapid creation of high-fidelity digital twins. The consortium brings together the expertise of four organisations. FMTS contributes its 2,000 m² Eduwork industrial training facility. CERICT provides expertise in XR applications and advanced digital reconstruction, while PICA contributes its know-how in developing immersive virtual environments for cultural heritage and industrial contexts. Together, they combine strong technical, creative and educational capabilities.
