Institute for Human Centered Engineering – Laboratory for Computer Perception and Virtual Reality

In the Computer Perception & Virtual Reality Lab, we deal with the analysis and synthesis of 2D and 3D digital images and their use in robotics and human-machine interaction.

Our Laboratory

Our research lab focuses its applied research & development on image and video data analysis as well as 3D data visualisation and interaction in virtual space. With the latest visualisation techniques, complex data can be processed in a novel way and made intuitively accessible. Among other things, we use these methods to simplify human-machine interactions.
