This Project Grant award, totaling $199,444.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. (KSU R&SF) to design, implement, and evaluate context-aware extended reality (XR) systems that can understand and respond to user states and environmental conditions.

The key objectives of this 2-year project are to: 1) build a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system with a comprehensive knowledge database integrating multimodal context data on XR users and environments; 2) design resource-efficient update mechanisms to minimize latency for executing context-aware XR algorithms while maintaining high accuracy; and 3) test the context-aware XR systems through emulators and real-world prototypes, with user studies evaluating performance based on real-time interactions. This research aims to advance the state of XR, edge computing, and machine learning technologies, with a focus on enabling more intelligent and adaptive XR applications across domains such as commerce, entertainment, manufacturing, and social interactions.
