7. What we looking for from COMIT members ?
• We want to define real valuable products and
services , so many tech pilots showing what is
possible
• Members to join in the product definition as part of
“feasibility study” – input resources
• Access feasibility work plus a PoC for partner
• If successful commit to take early product as we
raise money

-> read vision out loud: “A multi-user collaborative planning tool, allowing people from all over the world to work together in the same immersive environment. In real time.”
Experium is a vision we’ve been working towards for a couple of year now. As indicated in the application, we’ve realised most of the bits and pieces of it in some form in cooperation with contacts from the construction industry. The challenge is now to bring all these pieces together in one commercial service.
What is experium? How does it work?
“This visual illustrates the underlying architecture of the eXperium immersive environment platform. It places the user in a central position and interacts with this user through a layer of user interfaces. These user interfaces communicate with a domain specific application layer that allows for domain specific interactions (e.g. nuclear applications might have an integrated half-life simulator, while infrastructure applications would contain specialist construction equipment that can be accessed through an asset database). Bordering this application layer is the underlying eXperium application layer, that takes care of managing access and changes to underlying 4D environment files. The outer interfaces layer is one that is used to draw in data from external sources, both static and dynamic.”
