MindRove Bags €500K to Turn Your Mind & Body Into XR Controllers!
MindRove Kft. has won a €500,000 grant from XR2Industry’s first Open Call. XR2Industry is an EU‑funded project creating Europe’s XR platform for Industry 5.0, where people and smart machines partner under sustainability and resilience goals.“Our proposal stood out among hundreds of applicants as one of just seven beneficiaries, and we’re proud to be the only Hungarian company selected, alongside teams from Germany, France, Belgium, Greece and Italy,” said Zsófia Török, Head of Administration at MindRove.
While Industry 1.0 harnessed steam power, 2.0 electrified mass production, 3.0 brought in digital automation, and 4.0 connected factories through IoT and big data, Industry 5.0 adds the human touch, combining creativity and smart machines to deliver custom products, zero‑waste processes, and adaptive, eco‑friendly operations.
BIOHEX, MindRove’s winning project, will bring that vision to life over the next 15 months. The company is building a snap‑on set of wrist and ankle bands, plus a headband and chest strap that turns your movements, heartbeats, and even brain signals into natural controls for the Lynx‑R1 standalone headset. All sensors connect wirelessly—no controllers required.
“BIOHEX makes the headset feel like an extension of you—your motions, emotions and physiology shape what happens in virtual space,” says Dr. Gergely Márton, CEO of MindRove.
“We’re thrilled to work hand‑in‑hand with Lynx Mixed Reality—their Lynx‑R1 headset and our wearable sensors are the perfect match to redefine XR interaction,” adds János Csipor, COO of MindRove.
In Industry 5.0 environments, BIOHEX can:
- Guide assembly operators through complex tasks with live muscle‑and‑motion feedback and fatigue alerts
- Let remote experts collaborate as if standing beside a technician by sharing gesture and cognitive‑load data
- Trigger workstation adjustments or break reminders when stress or ergonomic risks arise
- Flag lapses in concentration on quality‑control lines to keep standards high
It also powers safer, more effective enterprise training simulations, controller‑free gaming that adapts to your mood, and real‑time health and fitness insights.
