Another week another short documentary! This time filmed in Paris with XR Ireland at the head quarters of Action contre la Faim (France). An NGO with the mission to save lives by eliminating hunger through the prevention, detection and treatment of under-nutrition.

In this reportage we explore the team up between XR Ireland and ACF under the Cortex2 consortium, as they develop an immersive training tool for staff on the emergency response team. We interview key members of the team to explore how the software was developed and why. We also hear the feedback form some ACF staff members who tested out the training simulation.

The reportage is linked below on vimeo, just press play! Let us know what you think!

We have a brand new short documentary up! This time we travel to Cēsis Latvia, to take a look at the important work been done by XR Ireland with support from XYZ Technical Art Services and the Āraišu ezerpils Arheoloģiskais parks, in the cultural heritage sector.

We dive into the background of the project, how this EU funded pan European collaboration started. Which includes teams from Ireland, Germany and Latvia. How they used advanced AI translation and voice recognition to enhance tools for the cultural heritage sector. While also going into the significance and history behind the Āraišu ezerpils Arheoloģiskais parks itself.

I hope you enjoy the doc and like always let us know what you think!
