OC2 sub-project: eXtendRCity

XRCity is developing a demonstrator of advanced XR technology and generative AI, to create a socially acceptable virtual assistant. The virtual assistant will interact with citizens and serve as an alternative participatory platform on the subject of urban regeneration and cultural heritage preservation. The assistant, personified by Olivia, will be installed on an outdoor screen in public spaces in the city centre, transforming these areas into interactive hubs where citizens can engage with their urban environment. By leveraging XR technology – with a friendly avatar offering real-time information about local attractions, cultural events, and essential services – the project aims to enhance the quality of life for city residents and a sense of cultural identity, while providing valuable insights for urban planners.
