The European Commission has given its seal of approval to a plan to launch a virtual and augmented reality coalition, exploring alternatives to meet a demand for content with enterprise customers.
The coalition will present a strategic paper by the end of 2021, forming part of the European Commission’s action plan to support recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, identifying the extent to which VR and AR technologies are deployed in the media sector, objectives for deployment by 2026 and commitments on how the industry can meet these objectives.
A VR media lab will also be launched to support creative cooperation on funded projects with VR technology.
