One of the companies participating in the exhibition was Operview which demonstrated a new prototype for remote operations.

- I had the opportunity to test Operview’s prototype and discuss the challenges and possibilities within remote operation technologies. These insights are highly valuable for the development within IMMERSE, says Prof. Mårten Sjöström.   

CIVIT provides research facilities and expertise in visual content creation, advanced displays, and immersive user experiences. As one of Tampere University’s co-creation platforms, CIVIT facilitates collaboration between companies, researchers, students and other organizations. Their work aligns closely with the goals of IMMERSE, which aims to advance immersive remote presence technologies with support from Interreg Aurora.
