Funded by the FFG. Co-financed by the ERFE programme of the European Union.

The X-Reality-Lab has a hexagonal floor plan with a floor area of 165 square metres and a room height of 8 metres. Five of the six walls and the floor are fully equipped with state-of-the-art 3D projectors to create impressive visual effects. Behind the projection surface is a sophisticated speaker system with loudspeakers and subwoofers, which creates an immersive audio-visual experience by combining real-time 3D images and 3D surround sound. The room is equipped with combinable optical sensors and tracking systems to follow and identify people, objects and robots, creating a highly interactive environment.

Significant parts of the X-Reality Lab's equipment are funded by the FFG and co-financed by the European Union in the EFRE programme. Further information on the IBW/EFRE- & JTF programme can be found at www.efre.gv.at

Projects

The X-Reality-Lab is currently being built at a new location of the Mozarteum University at the Kurgarten. Numerous projects are already being planned ahead of the planned opening at the end of 2025, which are being prepared and applied for together with regional and international partners from research and industry.
