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:

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
