OVER capabilities for Smart Communities

Project Overview

This Project aims to integrate a CitiVerse implementation with both specific datasets and those organized within the relevant European Project’s Data Space framework. The goal is to establish a benchmark standard for the real-time visualization of big data within Smart Cities. The project phases are outlined as follows:

1. Completion of Smart City Components

Implement and finalize one or more Smart City solutions in partner Municipalities.

2. Data Integration and Structuring

Interface specific datasets and organize them in line with the architectural logic of the Data Space.

3. CitiVerse Deployment

Transition into the CitiVerse environment, ensuring compatibility and functionality.

4. Testing and Stakeholder Interaction

Test the interaction with citizens, operators, and administrators, evaluating usability and performance.

5. Results Sharing and Optimization

Share findings to identify potential improvements in the Data Space’s structure, usability, and accessibility.

OVER’s Contribution as Technology Provider

As a leading player in the Smart Cities-to-CitiVerse transition, OVER offers an advanced technological solution to integrate and communicate infrastructure and service data through a geolocated, immersive, and interactive approach. By leveraging our 3D mapping and augmented reality (AR) platform, citizens, operators, and administrators can access critical data on services such as transportation, energy, and education, revolutionizing the interaction between the digital and physical worlds.

Key Technological Pillars

1. Virtual Positioning System (VPS): Precision Localization

Our VPS technology ensures precise, censorship-resistant localization by using visual data for real-time 3D mapping of physical spaces. Key benefits include:

o Accurate geolocated data

o Real-time visual representation

o Enhanced user accessibility

2. Digital Twin Technology

VPS facilitates the creation of digital twins of physical spaces, offering immersive, barrier-free experiences. Users can explore and interact with real environments in 3D from any location.

3. Jump-In Functionality

This feature enables immersive “teleportation” into geolocated 3D spaces, allowing users to access and engage with localized content remotely.

OVER Platform Capabilities

The OVER platform builds geolocated spatial layers that host precisely positioned 3D data and assets, offering a comprehensive system to organize and manage information by interest categories. Key functionalities include:

• Customizable Layers

Each layer can be populated with data related to various categories, such as public transport, energy services, or educational points of interest.

• Advanced Management

Local and governmental administrations can manage individual layers, defining which data is accessible at specific geolocated points.

• Immersive Experiences

Users, both remotely and physically present, can experience identical immersive interactions, accessing data seamlessly in augmented environments.

• Real-Time Interaction

The platform supports real-time communication via voice, text, or gestures, enhancing user engagement and collaboration.

Strategic Objectives

The overarching goal is to merge augmented and virtual reality experiences with meaningful data for citizens, administrators, and service providers. By creating a layered, geolocated system, this initiative aims to:

• Improve Data Management: Enable precise and customizable data access, enhancing transparency for citizens.

• Ensure Equal Access: Make remote interactions identical to physical ones, fostering equitable access to public services.

• Enhance Collaboration: Provide a unified system for administrations and businesses to communicate and collaborate efficiently
