The Challenge
In 2021 RTC in Flanders started working on a project called “XR Action Plan”. The aim of the project is to give over 150,000 students in technical and vocational education the chance to experience XR (extended reality) as part of their education. To realize this project they needed a partner to take care of the hardware part of the project. Additionally they needed a customized case to assemble the hardware into kits, to ensure an easy distribution of the hardware to the schools.
The Solution
To fulfill the hardware part of the “XR Action Plan” VR Expert was chosen by the public tender to provide RTC with 1,000 Pico 4 Enterprise headsets with controllers, tablets, and routers. Since the headsets need to be distributed to schools all over Flanders, all hardware needed to be assembled into kits. For this purpose, VR Expert designed a customized case for this project. This case offers space for four Pico 4 Enterprise with controllers, a tablet and a router. The result is 250 hardware kits that can be equipped with the right software by RTC.
