What is VR - Typical Virtual Reality environment
![Page 8: Experiences of private sector participants in Marie Curie Actions - Partnering in ITN project](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110215/56814320550346895daf8a82/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Research projects – not happened for us
• ITEA 2 ViCoMo EUREKA• Concentrates on 3D- videoanalysis and enrichment of videoimage with 3D-
content and stereo-image.• 2009-2012• TEKES-funded
• PerSSys• Eurostars• Personnel Safety system• Lead by CERN, National funding by TEKES• 2012-2014
• Projects went through, but we did not get national funding – economically too small company
![Page 15: Experiences of private sector participants in Marie Curie Actions - Partnering in ITN project](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110215/56814320550346895daf8a82/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Feelings about research projects from point of view of a small company
• EU-Funded ones are much better than national funded• Easier to get through, to get funded• More international contacts
• Projects with own R&D –part much better• Outcome will be closer to what we want• Smaller common costs for money, and more focused work• IPR issues
• Would we recommend this to other companies? • YES!• Which one, depends on your situation, expertise and goals
• Are you merely a reseller-type? Take one where is no own R&D• Do you develop your own product? Take one with own R&D
• Good consortium is important. Be active, not a yes-yes –man.

Some points from the projects
• Having new researcher or early-stage researcher through project?• Not normal type of employment, need to find correct person right away• Will the chemistry match? Motivation? Quick learning for company expertise?
• Be sure to know what type of funding is to be received, and when• Is the funding forwarded to R&D –partners?• When is the fund paid?
• Unsure of being able to fulfil the technical requirements?• Never, just go for it
• IPR-issues with different kind of projects – own IPR or shared one, or someone else’s?
![Page 17: Experiences of private sector participants in Marie Curie Actions - Partnering in ITN project](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110215/56814320550346895daf8a82/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Marie Curie Actions FP 7 – PURESAFE – ongoing project
• We had very good ESR• Many new products developed
• AR-based Maintenance worker and preparation tool• Basic AR-platform• STAR-productline• STEDUS-product• Many smaller ones
• Even not economically success-story yet, it might turn into it in very short time
• Project has given very good opportunity to create huge business
• Same products and results achieved without project?• No: Know-how OK, but time no.
![Page 18: Experiences of private sector participants in Marie Curie Actions - Partnering in ITN project](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110215/56814320550346895daf8a82/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Side benefits from the project
• New contacts from many places• To visit places otherwise impossible or rare opportunities
• Joint work, like OpenSE = an open, lean and participative approach to systems engineering
• Publications like Augmented Reality System for Advanced Maintenance in Large Scientific Facilities
• Journal writings like one at International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems (A New Hybrid Approach for Augmented Reality Maintenance in Scientific Facilities)
• -> Stronger technical references, which is important for small-sized company for creditability

.. and who knows what is still to come
• Any possible new partners HERE? • I am speaking here because we took part of Marie Curie Actions -project• We look for investors, salespersons/-companies, new R&D projects, new
customers..• Next FP?
• We will continue with our ESR after the project • -> Outcomes continue after the project• Another SME from same project does same with other ESRs
