Grant Description
Purpose and goal:
Framvik´s technological platform D-escalator for immersive technology is unique with its voice control. Users easily interact with dynamic and lifelike environments in VR. Based on long experience working with simulated environments in conflict management, violence and trauma, the step is not far to develop similar environments for people who have participated in armed conflicts. This project aims to develop the platform to eventually use for the treatment of war veterans.
Expected results and effects:
When the project Stage 1 is finished, Framvik must have: A) identified one or more collaboration partners in the US who can assist with development and implementation regarding Framvik´s patent on emotion recognition. B) identified one or more collaborators in the USA who have experience in developing XR for employees in the military/war veterans C) a clear practical and financial plan for Step 2.
Approach and implementation:
The project is successful if we have identified partners for both development of the patent´s functions and for experienced people/groups who have worked with treatment for veterans in XR. In the preparation phase, we will prepare Framvik´s technical platform for new functions, we will contact our existing partner in Queens, New York. During the stay, we want to meet and identify the right collaboration partners as above and start and plan for a possible continuation.
