The Visualization and Virtual Reality Labs are used to visualize 3D content using the latest technologies available in the areas of large-scale 3D projection and virtual reality. Colleagues in the lab collaborate with experts and scientists from different research fields; the result of their joint work is the visualization of large-scale computations in superior visual quality.
We have experience with visualizations in engineering, nanotechnology, materials design, medical and biological data analysis, and computer graphics. We collaborate with industrial partners, especially in visualizing results of collaborative research, prototype validation, and product presentation.
Both laboratories are also available for educational activities such as teaching anatomy in 3D and demonstrating product manufacturing processes as well as it will serve as a general simulation training facility.
Use of the labs
- Multimedia presentations of a representative nature
- Product presentations (architecture, virtual car showroom)
- Virtual teaching (anatomy, surgical operations, manufacturing processes, space, and planetary mechanics)
- Various simulators (traffic management, spill simulation, pollution and fire propagation simulation, tunnel management simulator, crisis management training
- Visualization of scientific calculations (crash test, aerodynamics, structural mechanics, molecular dynamics)
- Visualization for digital prototyping (design and inspection of functional units in a virtual environment)
