Use cases
The 5G-BECOME platform focus on the following two use cases (UCs), namely the XR Hybrid Learning Platform and the Automotive Open Platform & Digital Twins Environment.
XR Hybrid Learning Platform
The XR Hybrid Learning Platform creates a collaborative, hybrid learning environment at NTUA by incorporating Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) tools into the University’s educational framework. Tailored to NTUA’s diverse curricula, including disciplines like Mechanical and Civil Engineering, the platform offers immersive, interactive learning experiences that enhance student engagement and comprehension.
5G plays a crucial role in this use case by delivering high-speed, low-latency connectivity, ensuring seamless real-time interactions and rich multimedia content for AR/VR applications. With its robust network capabilities and edge computing integration, 5G enables real-time synchronization of immersive content, even in data-intensive scenarios, eectively bridging the gap between digital simulations and physical classroom experiences.
By transforming traditional classrooms into interactive learning spaces, this platform signicantly enhances educational outcomes. It equips students with advanced digital skills and improves their ability to grasp complex concepts through experiential learning. The integration of 5G-driven XR not only enriches academic experiences but also prepares students for future roles in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
Led by Italian company FifthIngenium, this initiative aligns the XR system with academic needs, enabling educators to present complex subjects in a visually engaging and accessible format.
Automotive Open Platform & Digital Twins Environment
The Automotive Open Platform & Digital Twins Environment at NTUA will provide an advanced digital infrastructure to support cutting-edge research and innovation in the automotive sector, particularly in Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) applications. This initiative integrates Digital Twins technology—creating dynamic digital replicas of vehicle systems and real-world environments—using custom-built OnBoard Units (OBUs), IoT devices and sensors. These digital replicas facilitate key services such as predictive maintenance, enhanced safety testing, and performance optimization.
5G is at the core of this use case, offering ultra-low latency, high data throughput, and reliable connectivity. It enables advanced functionalities such as network slicing, edge computing and NEF features. These capabilities are critical for supporting real-time vehicle-to-infrastructure communication and data-intensive simulations ensuring that the Digital Twins environment mirrors real-world conditions accurately and responsively.
The platform also offers a 5G experimentation environment, where students, researchers, and industry professionals can collaborate on real-world testingscenarios and group projects.
This innovative platform drives significant advancements in the automotive research and
education domain. It provides students and researchers with access to a dedicated 5G experimentation environment, enabling them to participate in collaborative projects, hands-on group activities, and real-world testing scenarios. Operating within a 5G-driven ecosystem that integrates key technological components, the platform empowers users to develop critical skills, broaden their expertise, and tackle real-world challenges with confidence—ultimately achieving outstanding mastery in their fields.
