Optinvent is a European SME that is specialized in AR display optics. Optinvent is a world leader in AR display technologies.  Optinvent holds 35 granted international patents and adapts the disruptive Clear-Vu^© (1D) and ORA-Lens^© (2D expander) waveguide technologies to the specifications of major customers.  Optinvent’s enabling technologies will allow the next generation of professional and consumer smart glasses and head worn devices for hands free and head up access to augmented reality and contextual information.

Optinvent has also successfully commercialized the ORA-1 and ORA-2 smart glasses as dev kits for professional AR applications and for evaluation of the Clear-Vu display technology including its revolutionary plastic reflective waveguide and display engine.

In TERMINET, Optinvent participates in Use Case 1 (UC1): “Smart Farming” led by AFS. Optinvent worked on the technique to identify animals and to connect the identification sensors to smart glasses. Optinvent deliver ORA-2 glasses to project’s partners, develop, and demonstrate intuitive scrolling menu in the glasses for a better user interface. Optinvent develop a solution to use BT accessory in hands to control the ORA-2 smart glasses for farmers using gloves. Optinvent demonstrate “Remote Eye application” to be used as software platform to connect the farmer to veterinary service. Optinvent worked on the co-development with CERTH and UWOM of custom application on the smart glasses for UC1.

Additionally, the company is involved in Use Case 6 (UC6): “Mixed Reality and ML Supported Maintenance and Fault Prediction for IoT-based critical infrastructure” led by PPC.  Optinvent set the conditions to scan QR-code for an embedded camera (Smartphone of on Smart glasses) at given distance and select the QR-code size and position on the server rack to have quick and reliable results. The company worked on the co-development with CERTH of custom application on the smart glasses for UC6 to set repair instructions for a SFP defective hardware module as a remote maintenance service using ORA-2 smart glasses.

UBITECH drives the design and development activities of TERMINET’s SDN-enabled vMEC platform, which are organized under the scope of WP3, where UBITECH acts as leader. UBITECH’s key role in TERMINET is to turn the TERMINET architecture (WP2) into a real system that will be accommodating the diverse requirements of six (6) TERMINET uses cases, four (4) open call use cases, and beyond. UBITECH has been a key partner behind the conception and realization of the TERMINET Minimum Platform Profile (MPP), which decouples the TERMINET core platform from other auxiliary TERMINET services or overlay applications around TERMINET, thus offering a practical and efficient way of deploying TERMINET, with open and explicit interfaces towards the TERMINET stakeholders. Part of the TERMINET MPP is UBITECH’s Vertical Application Orchestrator (VAO) and SDN-enabled container network interface, both of which enable seamless onboarding and lifecycle management of TERMINET applications atop distributed SDN dataplanes across edge and core domains.

The TERMINET project, an ambitious initiative under the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action, marks a significant step forward in the evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Seeking to establish a groundbreaking reference architecture for next-generation IoT, TERMINET encompasses a wide range of innovative use cases such as smart farming, personalized healthcare, smart buildings, and VR-enabled IoT technologies. In this dynamic landscape, Martel Innovate has been a contributing partner, offering support through the coordination of Open Calls and the contribution to the communication and dissemination activities. Furthermore, as coordinator of the NGIoT initiative, Martel enhanced the project’s overall collaborative efforts.

Martel’s role in TERMINET

Martel’s participation in the TERMINET project has been supportive and beneficial, particularly through its involvement in the NGIoT initiative and the handling of Open Calls. As coordinator of the NGIOT initiative, Martel has provided avenues for TERMINET to showcase its advancements. Through organizing events, facilitating TERMINET’s participation in webinars and workshops, and promoting Open Calls, Martel has contributed to enhancing the project’s visibility and collaborative potential within the IoT community.

The Open Calls, a critical component of TERMINET, have been effectively coordinated and promoted by Martel. This promotion has helped in attracting a diverse range of third-party contributions, bringing fresh perspectives and innovations to the project. Martel’s efforts in this area have been important in ensuring the success and inclusivity of these calls.

 As a conclusion, Martel’s role in the TERMINET project, through both the NGIOT initiative and the coordination of Open Calls, has been supportive and contributory. The efforts in promoting TERMINET’s activities, enhancing communication, and facilitating collaborative opportunities have been valuable. Martel’s balanced approach has aided in broadening TERMINET’s reach and impact in the IoT sector, showcasing the importance of collaborative partnerships in advancing technological innovation.

TERMINET has worked on next generation IoT across six realistic use cases, featuring software defined networking, edge computing, virtualisation, federated learning, augmented and virtual reality interfaces. TERMINET consortium member ERCIM is the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics. We aim to foster collaborative work within the European research community and to increase co-operation with European industry. Leading European research institutes are members of ERCIM. For TERMINET, we focused on standardisation, as well as conducting research on moving beyond the limitations of current approaches to knowledge representation and reasoning. 

ERCIM is also the European partner for W3C inc, an international organisation for web technology standards. We’ve supported work on W3C’s framework for knowledge representation (RDF) to make it easier to annotate links, as well as work on the Web of Things as a virtualisation layer for digital twins that makes it easier to create applications involving diverse IoT technologies and standards. We’re also participating in W3C Community Group’s including Web of Things, Autonomous Agents on the Web and Cognitive AI.

Knowledge representation is key to integrating information from multiple sensors, and enabling shared understanding across suppliers and consumers of information (semantic interoperability). We’ve developed a lightweight notation (PKN)  for plausible knowledge and defeasible reasoning that supports knowledge subject to uncertainties, imprecision, incompleteness, inconsistencies and ongoing change. This is an advance on RDF which is itself based upon description logics and deductive reasoning limited to perfect knowledge.  We co-organised a workshop on plausible reasoning with imperfect knowledge at KGC2022, presented a paper at KGSWC2023, and written a chapter for an IET book on personal knowledge graphs, along with a web-based implementation as a proof of concept.

We are using ERCIM News to disseminate ideas developed within TERMINET to the family of organisations in ERCIM, and taking the lessons learned into our standardisation activities, e.g. on the Web of Things (WoT), updates to RDF, and extended reality (WebXR), including plans for a workshop on aligning NGSI-LD and the Web of Things. We are also working on neurosymbolic approaches for cyber-physical control with innovative neural architectures as a basis for tomorrow’s cognitive inspired IoT.

In respect to risks and barriers,  standardisation is always a joint effort by interested stakeholders and has been likened to herding (domestic) cats! Things don’t always work out like you originally hoped.  A further challenge is winning support and growing the set of stakeholders. The IoT remains fragmented in respect to technologies and standards, acting as a brake on innovation.
