Project Summary

ARinfuse targets education and training at Higher Education institutions (HEI) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the field of Geoinformatics, with special reference to management and operations of utility underground infrastructures, such as water, sewage, electricity, gas, fiber optics, etc.
The project is supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences within the field of Geoinformatics and utility infrastructure, in order to foster employability. This objective is addressed through the development of new learning modules where Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are merged with Geoinformatics and applied within the utility infrastructure sector. The project also address, to some extent, the VET priority of promoting work-based learning, by introducing case-based learning, where the industry partners specify the requirements based on the needs of the work places.

In order to achieve the above objectives and bring about the desired impact ARinfuse partnership delivered the below concrete tangible results:
1. Complete set of tailor made holistic educational and training material including 24 (6 of them new) lectures, videos and self-assessment exercises through a state of the art professional educational platform. Available here: https://arinfuse.moodle.school
2. Custom made AR software with trainers and trainee mode and a freely developed 2D & 3D data viewer. Available here: https://www.arinfuse.eu/software/
3. Datasets and data creation techniques for demo purposes and a free sample data of Nicosia city, Cyprus to try the software https://www.arinfuse.eu/software/
All of the above have been disseminated to target audiences through 6 Multiplier events and 3 training actions receiving positive evaluations from the audience, while at the same time an active communication campaign had been running through the project website and partners’ individual channels.
