Project description
The purpose of the Game and XR Technology Laboratory Project is to develop and pilot Jamk's multidisciplinary RDI activities focused on game and XR technologies.
The project maps out the needs for using the upcoming game and XR technology laboratory and identifies strengths related to our own expertise and operations. The operations of the future laboratory are simulated using existing infrastructure during the project. Simulated RDI pilots, carried out with different partners and potential target groups, help to concretely identify and facilitate the opportunities and needs of game and XR technologies. These experiments provide practical content and input for RDI activities already during the project (joint project ideas and applications; input to ongoing projects, etc.). One concrete and long-term goal of LIKE is the multidisciplinary simulations for performance management.
The project operates out of a lab where Jamk's game technology expertise and equipment are in the same space, making it possible to offer comprehensive expert services. By centralizing these activities, the most effective benefits and visibility of multidisciplinary RDI work are achieved, enabling concrete, multidisciplinary, and widely usable activities with both Jamk's internal and external partners. The outcome will be direct RDI activities during the project and a network and action plan that will continue to drive progress in the future.
