Extended Reality

Our research is interdisciplinary and covers the spectrum of virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality for a wide range of immersive applications where elements from gaming, 3D graphics, digital media and simulations are used. We design and develop innovative applications to enhance learning, cognition, communication, decision-making, usability and user experience in fields such as health care, education, the military, manufacturing and science, pushing the boundaries of immersive technology. Examples of projects include a Brain-computer augmented reality environment to support and trace complex consumer decision-making, political decisionmaking and psycho-therapeutic applications; virtual geriatric patients that aim to improve caregiver training through interactive simulations; anywhere simulation software that facilitates remote healthcare education; advanced visualization techniques for large datasets and immersive simulations, forensic research and digital histories; and measuring and tracking wound progressions in 3D on complex surfaces.
