Immersive And Creative Technologies Lab

The Immersive & Creative Technologies Lab was founded in late 2011 and since its establishment it has been focusing on fundamental and applied research in specific areas of Computer Science. In particular researchers at the lab are focused in the areas of computer vision, computer graphics, virtual/augmented reality and creative technologies, and their application in a wide range of fields. More specifically, we are actively involved in Research and Development in the following: 3D Acquisition & Reconstruction Development of 3D scanning technologies based on active and passive sensors, algorithms for rapid 3D reconstructions and its applications to Cultural Heritage. Of particular interest is the development of methodologies for the rapid reconstruction of large-scale urban and archaeological sites. Augmented/Virtual Reality Development of novel techniques for improving user interaction and tracking, and the creation of immersive visualizations. Recognition & Tracking Development of algorithms for object recognition, real-time markerless tracking, and feature extraction. New knowledge and other research outcomes resulting from the research at the ICT lab are disseminated through teaching(link to courses pages), research projects( link to the projects page), and collaboration with the industry.
