About the project
In 2016, Spectre started applying for the EU Competitiveness and Cohesion Fund 2014-2020 The innovation of SMEs, and then in 2017, it received approval for funds for the project Croatia for All – Croatia for everyone. The overall goal of this project is to strengthen technological solutions that will help people with disabilities to overcome everyday obstacles and lead them to better assimilation in the social environment in which they move and live. The goal of technological innovations achieved through this project during the project duration of 18 months, starting from September 14, 2017, will be the focus of Spectre, which will create at least two new jobs in a given period.
The project includes the development of applications for iOS and Android operating systems with augmented reality components and 360 virtual walks and is also adapted for people with visual and hearing impairments. The project is also developing an application for the holographic computer Microsoft HoloLens, which is also one of the first developments of applications of this type in Croatia. This approach allows the user to project images and content from augmented reality on the glasses screen. Thus, it is possible to achieve a perception of the world that the user sees and the space in which it is located in parallel with the projection of a transparent image on the screen of glasses.

The plugin offers a range of features such as physical interactions with objects, a ready-made solution for capturing objects from a distance or proximity, pre-built solutions for moving in virtual reality such as teleportation and continuous movement, inverse kinematics, VR user interface, and gesture recognition that allows the user to further personalize desired interactions.
Katancic's Time Machine VR
Have you ever stood in front of historic ruins or monument and closed your eyes, imagining what the scene before you would have looked like centuries ago? Thanks to virtual reality, seeing places as they were in their heyday is becoming possible. History isn’t meant to stay on the page — it comes alive through storytelling and shared experiences. The historical context of a place is a powerful conduit to cultural appreciation in the present. That's why the city of Valpovo and its Tourist board have decided to create an interesting and immersive experience that will bring the figure and works of Matija Petar Katančić and the inhabitants of Valpovo from the end of the 18th century closer to their visitors, especially the younger generations.
