High Tech Campus Eindhoven (HTCE) launched 3EALITY, its Metaverse and spatial computing physical innovation hub. The announcement came during yesterday’s Immersive Tech Day, where the campus outlined its vision for 3EALITY, and eleven demo partners showcased their technologies, such as haptic gloves and platforms for digital experiences.
The High Tech Campus Eindhoven opened 3EALITY, a physical hub for Metaverse and spatial computing.
The hub, opening in 2024, will facilitate an ecosystem for VR/AR technologies.
Eleven partners showcased immersive technologies for spatial computing applications.
3ALITY aims to establish an ecosystem for spatial computing and Metaverse applications, which, from emerging tech, are set to grow and disrupt many industries. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are indeed expected to exceed the one trillion market size mark before 2030.
Driving innovation by starting physical hubs
The new technological space will have office spaces and collaboration facilities, with the HTCE facilitating new businesses to enter the ecosystem and collaborations. 3EALITY is the fifth innovation hub within the campus, including the 5G HUb and the AI Innovation Center. The underground and the ground floor of HTC 37, a former Philips Research building, will be the new hub’s home, officially opening in February 2024.
