Ecosystem
Our ecosystem encompasses several distinct spaces and programs:
- VR Innovation program – Research in VR mostly focuses on Vision and Auditory sensations except very few researches in Haptics. In the next five year, Haptics will have a major impact in VR as it is fundamental to other senses including vision.
- XR Innovation fund – IITM Would like to propose a State Sponsored Skills Training Center dedicated to XR that can cater to the current demand. Several states can participate in this training program.

VR Product Innovation Program
IITM has over the years produced many skilled professional in the field of Immersive Media Technology and Haptics who are currently serving the World’s Leading Technology Companies with further innovations and patents to their credit. We will explore with our collaborators to setup exchange programs. Already few of these institutes have MoUs with IITMs. We will pursue a joint masters program is possible with each of the collaborator institutes.
IITM has to its credit a lot of Technology innovation patents in the field of VR, AR, MR and Haptics. The technology needed for simulation labs and skills labs could be made in a mission-mode project in India. VR Corridor is a step towards this grand vision.
XTIC welcomes collaborators to setup innovative Academic Joint Venture Partners to exchange knowledge, Cross Utilize expertise and produce State-of-the-Art Immersive Technology Products with a ‘Make in India’ Mission.
As a part of VR Corridor, we will also be training manpower at the diploma and ITI level on VR programming and hardware skills. This creates many job opportunities.
XR Innovation Fund
To support the XR industries and Startups in India, as well as the innovation center as part of the Corridor, a small manufacturing facility specifically for XR hardware would support the ecosystem in a long way.
The manufacturing spaces will be set up with funding from Industries. Projects must align with XR Initiative goals of advancing multidisciplinary learning and teaching, creating innovative learning experiences with augmented and virtual reality, increasing access to XR technologies to a broad audience, creating repeatable processes for content creation and deployment, and developing research to better understand the effectiveness of XR in education.
IITM with its high track record of Hundreds of Successful Research activities and Innovations, commands a High Chance to invite many Funding Sources for Innovation fund. Individual High Calibre CAVE members in Collaboration with IITM will be a good Fortified relationship to invite such innovation funds for Start-ups and other partners in the CAVE eco system.
