Projects in Finnish

5G START – Preparing for 5G in Tavastia Proper

• The key objective is to ensure a sufficiently extensive infrastructure of fibre optics in Häme, which provides a strong basis for the utilisation of 5G and its technologies throughout the region.

Mystery 24/7

The project is developing a virtual escape game to support the vocational rehabilitation of young people and young adults. The game offers an opportunity to practice the key skills required in working life. The game can be used by the organisers of vocational rehabilitation services for young people. In addition, the game can be used in educational institutions. Rehabilitation specialists benefit from the game as it offers an innovative digital tool to support rehabilitation.

Transport 4.0

• The objective is to support sustainable growth, the smooth running and safety of daily life, and good accessibility of the region as envisaged by the Häme programme. We will do this by developing solutions for transport, mobility and logistics.

SotePeda 24/7

• The project produced digital learning material for the development of digitalisation competence in the social and health care sector.

VATTU – Virtual products in the manufacturing industry

• The project consisted of two pilots where pilot 1 was an educational application for VR glasses designed in cooperation with KONE Corporation. The purpose of the pilot was to first explore the challenges related to existing training methods, and to brainstorm and show how these challenges can be solved with the help of game engines and VR glasses. The training application employed a good pedagogical model for learning and, for example, almost all text was transformed into an internationally understandable visual format.
• Pilot 2 was an XR product configurator designed in cooperation with Patria Land Oy. The purpose of the pilot was to introduce XR technology and to present the opportunities created by the technologies to take the product virtually to the customer. The product configurator allows the person to select the configuration and its content, as well as the locating completely autonomously. It is easy to save the finished configuration and send it back to the manufacturer.

OpenHäme – AvoinHäme

• During this project we created Häme Events, which is the open event interface of Tavastia region. It is based on open source code, which means that anyone can advertise their own event in the service. Event data is collected centrally to an open interface, from which anyone can access it. As a result, a wide range of event calendars and applications can use the same shared and open resource of event-related data.

HämInCent

• In cooperation with HAMK Bio Research Unit we developed a system for monitoring crickets. Our team examined the monitoring of the growth and activity of a cricket population through image analysis.

Bio-cycle 

• In cooperation with HAMK Bio Research Unit, our team carried out the visualisation of mass flows within a biogas refinery, as well as implementing the framework of a simulation model for analysing the regional impact of the refinery.

BIKE – City bikes and shared bikes

• The objective was to enable urban and shared bicycle services for areas located in Finland’s growth corridor. The project examined the benefits and savings associated with the integration of urban bicycle systems in different regions, as well as focusing on issues related to improving the efficiency of travel chains, such as the possibility of integrating urban and shared bicycles into public transport ticket systems.

Healthy digital house

• Healthy construction and healthy building maintenance are an important part of cost-effectiveness and the upkeep of buildings. The project piloted various digital solutions for the healthy and cost-effective maintenance of buildings.

ERÄS project 

• The aim of the project was to promote the fire safety and rescue operations of special groups in Finland. See more info here.

Competence is the key (ORA) project

• The aim was to promote the equality, accessibility and employment prospects of students in need of special support at HAMK. See more info here.

Research and development of the Multisensory wayfinding method and signage alternatives as part of improving the accessibility of public transport in public transport terminals (M-WAY)

• The aim of the project was to study and develop the Multisensory wayfinding method and signage alternatives as part of improving the accessibility of public transport in public transport terminals. The aim was to create instructions for the planning and implementation of accessible routes to complement the EU rail guidelines in connection with the guidance of visually impaired passengers. See more info here.

ILSI Project “ITIS”

• With ILSI project we attempted to develop smart multi‐sensory way‐finding solutions 1) that would ease visually impaired person’s independent translocations and way‐finding indoors, and 2) that would increase independent mobility and travelling with public transport. See more info and the video here.

Producing and mapping accessibility information on cultural and leisure services in a communal manner through mobile technology – KUPS!

• The project developed new ways and a new participatory operating culture for the production and evaluation of information on the accessibility of services. See more info here.

City in your pocket – Hämeenlinna taskussa

• Hämeenlinna in your pocket is a mobile application of the City of Hämeenlinna, which was developed in the SÄIHKY project.
