TRACER: Toolset for Realtime Animation, Collaboration & Extended Reality (FABW)
TRACER is a software agnostic communication infrastructure and toolset for plugging open-source tools into a production pipeline, establishing interoperability between open source and proprietary tools and targeting real-time collaboration and XR productions. GitHub; Website
VPET - Virtual Production Editing Tools (FABW)
VPET is a collaborative tool that allows realtime scene editing via an intuitive interface. It takes a holistic approach on light, asset and animation editing, for virtual production environments. Its development is open-source, with growing support for diverse film and VFX pipelines. GitHub; Website
ALVR - Air Light VR (UPF)
This fork of ALVR v20.6.0 introduces several enhancements to ALVR for monitoring and optimizing VR streaming performance.
Music performers dataset (BBC)
This dataset comprises a total of 36 (circa) 60 second clips of music artists performing live, in front of an LED wall, with dynamic background graphics and stage lighting. Four artists performed (Badliana, KDYN, TWST and New Wounds) 3 songs each live and were filmed by 3 locked off (fixed position and settings) cameras: a centrally placed camera, and two either side, all pointing towards center stage. Each video clip set provides an extract approximately 1 min long of the 3 locked off camera views of each music artist, for each of one their songs. Audio is also provided.

Anxious Arrivals (formerly The Day and The Earth) (CREW)
XR performance for multiple users with XR scenography. Website
Survivor AnimHost Motion Capture Dataset (FABW)
FABW develops AI-assisted tools to streamline 3D animation workflows, enabling real-time bipedal character animation with machine learning. AnimHost, part of the TRACER ecosystem, integrates animation generation into standard DCC applications like Blender, ensuring creative control.
To test this workflow, we produced the animated short SURVIVOR, using motion capture data recorded at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. The datasets, including a session focused on running movements, are available under a Creative Commons license.

Digital Locations - Container City Stuttgart Dataset (FABW)
DIGITAL LOCATIONS revolutionizes film production by virtualizing real-world locations for pre-visualization, scouting, shot planning, and Virtual Production. Using high-fidelity digital twins, it enhances collaboration, reduces costs, and supports sustainability initiatives like the EU Green Deal.
The current prototype, built on MAX-R technologies (VPET, TRACER, DataHub, wgpuEngine), was developed by Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg and UPF in collaboration with industry partners.
Demos were showcased at CVMP 2024 and Berlinale 2025. Two datasets—CONTAINER CITY STUTTGART and MARIENWAHL LUDWIGSBURG—are available for download under a Creative Commons license.

Construct: An online developer tool and persistent online world which can host up to 10,000 real time users (IMP)
Construct allows up to 10,000 users to inhabit a persistent world. Users do not need to be authorised to join, they simply need a Google or X enabled account for initial verification. Construct is built on Improbables SOTA technology allowing fully rendered avatars at scale, all able to hear, see and interact with one another. This technology has been used by MAX-R consortium members as well as other projects to deliver high scale events. Users are also able to reach out to enable developer access allowing user generated content to be hosted in their own world. Link to asset
LASAA - Large-area Spatially Aligned Anchors (UHasselt)
LASAA is an open source Unreal Engine 5 plugin for large area tracking and drift reduction in large complex environments. GitHub
ALVR enabled LASAA for remote streaming (UHasselt)
This fork of ALVR enables the integration of MAX-R's Large-area Spatially Aligned Anchors (LASAA) in an ALVR client application, allowing for drift free applications in a remote streaming setup. Github for custom ALVR client. Github for UE5 plugin
Progressive network streaming of XR content in glTF 2.0 format (UHasselt)
Progressive network delivery and client-side rendering of glTF 2.0 scenes stored on a remote content server, this way allowing users to immerse themselves in the remotely hosted XR content with minimal waiting time. GitHub
Creation and delivery of XR Media Data for Demonstration Purposes (BRA)
BRA designed and modeled assets and virtual scenarios to host different types of events, such as music contests, online talks (like TED Talks), and news and sports TV, where the interviewees were in different locations. These environments were able to display real-time data with charts, graphics, or virtual mock-ups.
