The OPENVERSE project is proud to announce the launch of the OPENVERSE Observatory, the platform designed as a knowledge hub showcasing projects, case studies, companies, and technologies involved in the European Virtual Worlds ecosystem.
The OPENVERSE Observatory has several search categories: company or case study and technological focus, covering key areas like AI, AR/VR, digital twins, blockchain, and quantum computing. It highlights innovations across sectors such as health, automotive, telecommunications, and manufacturing, promoting technological advancements throughout Europe. Submissions are also organised geographically, reflecting contributions from EU member states, Norway, the UK, to name a few regions. This structure allows efficient mapping of pioneering projects that shape the future of Virtual Worlds.
“The OPENVERSE Observatory serves as a single point of reference for Virtual World technologies and practices, fostering stakeholder collaboration and offering timely, easily accessible information to drive innovation, policy development, and impactful use cases”, said Francesco Mureddu, Project Coordinator, The Lisbon Council.
At the moment, the OPENVERSE Observatory hosts over 80 companies and case studies and it is continuously enriched with the latest innovations and contributions in Virtual Worlds technologies.
