The INDUX-R project has successfully completed the Large-Scale Testing phase for Use Case 2 (UC2), validating our developed modules in a real-world user environment. Building on insights from earlier small-scale trials, this phase focused on evaluating recent system upgrades and measuring how effectively the tools perform in practice. During the sessions, end-users engaged in hands-on […]
The presentation focused on the role of XR in healthcare and the challenges of translating research into clinical practice, including practical, regulatory, and reimbursement hurdles. Sharing these insights with the XR community is part of the dissemination activities, aimed at the lasting impact of INDUX-R beyond the project timeline: bringing the project’s results to the professionals and […]
Oliver A Kannape from HUG – Hopitaux Universitaires de Genève presented at IVRHA (International Virtual Reality and Healthcare Association) Europe 2026 recent work on AI-driven virtual patients, exploring how they can give students more opportunities to practise patient conversations in a controlled and reliable environment. The presentation highlighted the importance of reliable AI-supported educational content, with careful attention […]
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) like CLIP excel at open-vocabulary tasks but treat entire images uniformly, often struggling to localize objects when training data is scarce. Drawing inspiration from how humans use spatial context, the work integrates spatial priors, such as pointing cues encoded as Gaussian heatmaps, directly into the training objective of region-based VLM detectors. Pointing […]
Five integrated use cases, technological demonstrators and exploitation opportunities take centre stage at the European project’s plenary meeting on 9 November 2026. The INDUX-R European funded project will hold its 6th Plenary Meeting on Monday, 9 November 2026, in Porto, Portugal, bringing together its European partners to review progress, present key developments and discuss the […]

Oliver A Kannape from HUG – Hopitaux Universitaires de Genève presented “Rear Window: A Hospital’s Perspective on XR” at VR Summit 2026 in Bochum, exploring Extended Reality (XR) from the hospital’s perspective. The presentation focused on the role of XR in healthcare and the challenges of translating research into clinical practice, including practical, regulatory, and reimbursement […]
At BCI 2026 (12th Balkan Conference on Informatics) in Thessaloniki, Iason Karakostas from CERTH presented the work: “Pointing-attention guidance for improved few-shot object detection”. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) like CLIP excel at open-vocabulary tasks but treat entire images uniformly, often struggling to localize objects when training data is scarce. Drawing inspiration from how humans use spatial […]
Acciaierie d’Italia in A.S. participated in the National Conference of the Italian Association of Metallurgy (AIM), presenting the UC2 activities of the INDUX-R project. G. Annicchiarico – Acciaierie d’Italia, Taranto presented: “Predictive maintenance of bearings in rolls immersed in hot-dip galvanizing lines using extended reality and artificial intelligence algorithms.” The presentation highlighted how INDUX-R is […]
CERTH presented their work entitled “CHARACTER: Clothed Human Animatable Reconstructions viA Cross-view TExture transfeR” at the IEEE ICIR 2026 conference. CHARACTER is a new system developed under the EU-funded INDUX-R project that turns standard videos or photos into ready-to-animate 3D human avatars in less than three hours. By exploiting recent advances in 3D reconstruction, CHARACTER goes beyond conventional reconstruction pipelines, […]
