The main objective of the project is to face the numerous questions that arise from the lack of appropriate guidelines and standards on best practice implementation and use of Virtual Reality technologies. Moreover, the project focuses on initiating and supporting the integration of Virtual Environments (VEs) in product development, testing and training processes, as well as on the broad adoption of VEs in European industries. In this context, the VIEW of the Future project aims to develop essential technologies, methodologies and tools that will enable the industry to develop and use VEs in an appropriate way.
