About

At AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, we are dedicated to advancing innovation and technology in key areas such as energy, transport, digitalization, and health.

The Center for Technology Experience develops human-centred solutions at the intersection of Virtual Worlds. We combine research, technology development and user-centred evaluation to turn emerging concepts into proofs of concept (PoCs), prototypes and MVPs for real-world applications.

Our expertise includes immersive training and learning, hybrid worlds, digital twins, multimodal interaction, adaptive and AI-enabled interfaces, assistive systems, and immersive collaboration. We have extensive experience in designing, developing and validating XR solutions with users and in demanding operational environments.

AIT has coordinated MED1stMR, a European project developing immersive XR training for first responders, and contributes XR expertise as an AR partner in the HEU COMPAS project. Our dedicated XR and UX research infrastructure enables rapid prototyping, demonstrator development and user testing.

Looking for: Horizon Europe partners and consortia in Virtual Worlds, XR and immersive technologies, particularly where human-centred design, PoC/MVP development, user validation and application-driven innovation are central.
