From the Hudson to Horizon Europe

From the Hudson to Horizon Europe: A Call to the XR2Learn Community

This is not a simulation.

This is the real helicopter — the one recovered from the Hudson River on April 10th, 2025.

Five members of the same family from Barcelona and a young pilot lost their lives.

At Global3CCS, as part of the VRAR Industrial Coalition, we issue an urgent call to this community:

XR is not just about learning. It’s about prevention. It’s about saving lives.

We ask XR2Learn to support the launch of a European pilot program to:

• Simulate structural failure before it happens in the real world.

• Integrate transparent photonic polymer materials into XR systems.

• Train technicians, pilots, and regulators with immersive digital twins.

• Enable real-time diagnostics through extended reality platforms.

“Let the next image be a simulation — not a rescue.”

We are ready to collaborate.

This is a call to act — for those we lost, and those we can still protect.
