In this third wave of Open Calls, third parties are invited to submit projects that qualify for receiving financial support that leverage 6G-XR’s enablers, infrastructure facilities and testbeds to deploy, replicate and validate the verticals of their interest. This is strongly aligned with, and enabled by, key expected outcomes of the project:

1. modular, flexible and interoperable enablers to replicate and/or realize any service, application or vertical of interest, beyond the internal 6G-XR validation use cases; and
2. comprehensive and accurate modules for determining cross-layer performance- and value-oriented metrics, and smart orchestration and decision making to trigger efficient adaptations.

Candidate media / XR services for selection include but are not limited to:

(i) novel delivery paradigms (e.g., one-to-many, many-to-many) for traditional and immersive media;

(ii) metaverse-like services;

(iii) gaming-like services;

(iv) interactive and distributed AR/XR/VR services;

(v) adaptation of classical audio-visual services to assess the benefits of 6G(-XR) technology.
