About

The project aims at improving human-machine interaction in mobile machinery by enhancing user technology fit and extending reality technologies and functionalities. The results will extend the perceivable range of the operator without negatively influencing the performance of the human while controlling the machinery. The targeted extended reality technologies will enhance conventional human-machine interfaces through multimodal information and interaction technologies, deploying innovative data visualization methods, force feedback technology, and acoustic information. The project will ensure a positive impact of extended reality technologies on the safety, security, trustworthiness, and societal aspects of the interaction between the machine, the human operator, and the public/non-users. The role of the University of Luxembourg in the project is to ensure that privacy and ethical risks are properly addressed during the technologies development and that the invention of new technologies will not result in workplace surveillance or the infringement of personal rights.
