European Digital Sovereignty for Heritage AI Applications: VAARHeT Performance Validation
VAARHeT demonstrates European-developed AI components achieving competitive performance for cultural heritage voice interaction whilst maintaining GDPR compliance, EU data residency, and minority language support, establishing foundation for heritage sector digital sovereignty.
Collaborative Virtual Environment Design Patterns for Heritage Curation Workflows
VAARHeT research reveals virtual collaboration optimises for either fully remote participation or co-located desktop-augmented workflows, with hybrid modes mixing physical presence and VR mediation creating awkward dynamics compromising communication effectiveness.
AI Dialogue Quality Standards for Cultural Heritage: Accuracy Thresholds and Institutional Credibility Requirements
VAARHeT validation reveals heritage institutions require near-perfect AI accuracy due to reputational risk from misinformation, with 75% response correctness insufficient for museum deployment prioritising factual integrity over interaction sophistication.
Desktop vs VR Headset Modality Comparison for Heritage Educational Applications
VAARHeT validation evidence demonstrates desktop interfaces provide adequate value for most heritage educational applications whilst VR headsets enhance immersion without fundamentally changing learning outcomes, informing multi-modal deployment strategy prioritising accessibility over hardware requirements.
Case Studies
Real-world project outcomes and impact stories demonstrating measurable results across humanitarian, cultural, and industrial contexts.
AR Translation Agent for Multilingual Cultural Heritage Tour Accessibility
How XR Ireland developed real-time AR translation using VOXReality ASR and Neural Machine Translation for live museum tours, achieving strong technical performance whilst revealing critical hardware limitations and minority language quality challenges through validation with 37 museum visitors.
Voice-Driven VR Site Augmentation for Archaeological Building Education
How XR Ireland developed a voice-activated VR experience enabling museum visitors to explore 10th century Latgalian building reconstruction through natural speech commands, achieving 61 Net Promoter Score whilst revealing critical content discoverability challenges in pure voice-only interaction paradigms.
Voice-Activated AR Welcome Avatar for Cultural Heritage Visitor Engagement
How XR Ireland developed and validated a mobile AR welcome avatar integrating VOXReality ASR and dialogue components for museum visitor information delivery at Āraiši Ezerpils Archaeological Park, revealing critical insights about AI accuracy requirements in cultural heritage contexts.

SimexBuilder Platform
"Minimise the time and technical expertise required to design crisis management training simulations when preparing emergency response teams for deployment"
SimexBuilder is a cloud-based simulation design and orchestration platform for creating immersive training scenarios for disaster risk reduction, humanitarian response, and crisis management. It enables organisations to design, deploy, and analyse complex multi-stakeholder exercises without requiring game development expertise or specialised infrastructure.
Isolde Platform
"Minimise technical complexity and infrastructure costs to deliver synchronised audio-visual experiences when presenting to distributed audiences"
Isolde is a cloud-orchestrated media synchronisation and audience interaction platform for live, hybrid, and distributed cultural productions. It enables precise synchronisation of audio and visual content across personal devices and professional projection systems, while capturing structured audience interaction data for artistic and organisational insight.
CRXR
"Minimise compliance errors and workflow disruption when executing quality control procedures in sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing environments"
CRXR is an augmented reality system for bio-pharmaceutical clean-room manufacturing environments. It provides real-time procedural guidance, quality control verification, and compliance documentation directly in the operator field of view without compromising sterile environments or introducing contamination risk.
UPAS Platform
"Minimise the risk of procedural errors when accessing and following guidance in field environments without connectivity or margin for error"
UPAS (Unified Procedures and Advisory System) is an offline-capable, privacy-first procedural guidance platform for responders operating in low-connectivity, high-pressure environments. It delivers stepwise, context-aware procedural guidance with explicit provenance, ensuring correct procedures are applied even when networks are unavailable.
