About
Development of interactive technology to improve the interconnection and the human perception.
It is combining multidisciplinary areas that we develop solutions to optimize the relationship between people and technologies. This infrastructure comprises two distinct facilities: one in Porto, dedicated especially to Computer Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction and Digital Games; another in Vila Real, focused on creating Multisensory, immersive and authentic experiences based on Virtual and Augmented reality.
Dual Location: FEUP and UTAD.
Where we act
Among other highlights, the immersive environments present a great potential for learning and training professionals, particularly in areas such as industry, security/defense, health, culture and entertainment.
What we offer
Through the distinct contribution of two poles, we guarantee:
Development of interactive technologies, particularly for virtual environments
Know-how in creation and collaboration in immersive environments
Innovative environments for learning, training and certification
Equipments
Our laboratory is currently equipped with state-of-the-art technologies that enable our researchers to meet the challenges of using computational techniques. We have:
Room for multisensory experiments, with stimulation of several human senses
XR Headsets (Meta Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro, etc)
Eye trackers
Demonstrations
Our laboratory provides evaluation and testing equipment that enables the development of capabilities and the anticipation of issues in the technologies we produce.
Search and rescue simulation equipment, built based on firefighter training exercises.
Prototypes
Given the challenges we face, this laboratory is continually working to find solutions that can be taken to market and help users in their daily lives, namely:
