XR Lab: Discover AR & VR applications for your company
The Metaverse, virtual worlds, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are on the rise and promise to change the way we collaborate, connect and work. TNO has developed various technologies and applications for these use cases. Examples are AR applications to remotely assist a field engineer with complex operations in (hard to reach) places such as a wind turbine or a rescue operation at sea. In the extended reality (XR) Lab, we conduct research into the applications of immersive technologies such as AR and VR in the industry, government, healthcare and mobility sectors, among others. Could you use some help with this or would you like us to research something? Get in touch with us via the form at the bottom of this page.
Examples of what you can do in the XR Lab
Starting from your company's needs, we’ll work out an example. This may revolve around existing needs for training, remote collaboration or remote assistance, but could also be centred around new business processes that are currently difficult or impossible to realise. We analyse the current way of working and assess how immersive technologies could improve it. The TNO expert offers multiple perspectives, discusses the pros and cons of current applications in XR and provides a vision for the future. In doing this, TNO focuses mainly on research, creating proof of concepts and demos using its own technology or commercially available applications.

Proven technology
TNO has been working on Social XR, collaborating in virtual worlds, since 2017. In doing so, TNO has developed its own platform, providing us with experience in all technological aspects of real-time XR communication. Besides research around the necessary technology for collaboration in the metaverse, TNO has also conducted many experiments to evaluate the value of this technology to humans.
