The 5G-BECOME project is transforming education and research at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) through the deployment of a cutting-edge 5G network and edge computing infrastructure. This initiative integrates immersive digital technologies, reshaping learning methodologies and fostering a more interactive, innovative, and future-ready academic environment.
By leveraging the power of 5G, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Digital Twin technologies, 5G-BECOME brings hands-on experiences to students and researchers, bridging the gap between education, industry, and technological innovation.
Key Applications of 5G-BECOME
XR Hybrid Learning Platform
The XR Hybrid Learning Platform introduces
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) tools
into NTUA’s educational framework, offering students
interactive and immersive learning experiences. This
technology enhances student engagement, fosters
dynamic collaboration, and transforms traditional
education into a highly visual and experiential process.
The initiative is led by FifthIngenium, ensuring its full
alignment with NTUA’s curriculum and academic
needs.
Automotive Open Platform &
Digital Twins Environment
This state-of-the-art research platform advances Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) applications by integrating Digital Twins (DTs) to replicate vehicle systems and real-world driving environments.
• Predictive maintenance – Detecting and addressing
potential vehicle issues before they occur.
• Enhanced safety testing – Running real-time simulations to improve autonomous vehicle safety.
• Performance optimization – Fine-tuning vehicle systems through AI-driven analysis.
The 5G experimentation platform at NTUA provides students and researchers with the opportunity to engage in real-world testing, gain hands-on experience, and develop cutting-edge mobility solutions.
