Creating impact across Europe

A new benchmark for XR technologies by significantly improving visual quality, interaction accuracy, energy efficiency, and real-time responsiveness.

Enable seamless human-machine interaction through the fusion of gaze, gesture, depth, and contextual information,

Strengthening Europe's leadership in advanced XR hardware platforms while supporting the development of more intuitive, adaptive, and sustainable immersive experiences.

IRIS-XR will develop a next-generation Extended Reality (XR) hardware-software platform that combines advanced optics, integrated sensing, and AI-powered multimodal interaction.

By bringing together innovative display technologies, embedded eye tracking, event-based sensing, and intelligent interaction systems, the project will create more immersive, responsive, energy-efficient, and realistic XR experiences.
