About the project

Shaping the Future of XR

IRIS-XR combines breakthrough advances across three technology pillars to create more natural, intelligent, and immersive XR experiences.

Pillar 1

Advanced XR Displays

Next-generation mini/micro-LED backlit displays delivering higher visual quality, improved contrast, reduced artefacts, enhanced colour reproduction, and lower power consumption for professional XR applications.

Pillar 2

Ultra-Fast Eye and Gesture Tracking

Novel sensing technologies enable sub-10 millisecond multimodal interaction and ultra-low latency eye tracking, delivering more accurate, robust, and energy-efficient user interaction.

Pillar 3

AI-Powered Multimodal Interaction

Intelligent software combines gaze, gesture, and depth information in real time, enabling adaptive and personalised XR experiences while preserving privacy through local processing.
