National Center for Experiental Technologies
Principal Investigator
Prof. M. Manivannan
Objective
- Experiential Technologies Innovation Center (XTIC) at IIT Madras is making strategies towards making India the center of the XR Wave, We propose to make a National Center for Experiential Technologies (NCET) with industry leaders of XR
Description
- While AI has significantly impacted numerous sectors, XR ? as a human-centered horizontal technology integrating AI and other verticals ? promises a more transformative wave by placing humans at the center of technology rather than replacing them. This IIT Madras initiative establishes a National Center for Experiential Technologies (NCET) with industry leaders, driving breakthroughs in immersive interfaces, AI-augmented XR, and interactive experience design ? positioning India as the center of the global XR wave
Impact
- The focus on human-centeredness makes XR a horizontal technology while others are vertical technologies, XR integrates all other technologies to make the human the center of technologies instead of replacing the human, This human-centeredness is the main reason XR will make a bigger wave than the current AI wave
