Research group has established a new Laboratory for Smart Environment Technologies, with equipment funded by HRZZ project ELISE: Easy Living in Smart Environments and EU project VITA – Virtual Telemedicine Assistance. In addition, the group uses the following laboratories: Laboratory for Multimedia Systems and Virtual Reality, Laboratory for Electroacoustics, Laboratory for Communication and Information Systems, Laboratory for IP Technologies and Communication Protocols and Laboratory for Digital Television and Video. The laboratories are equipped with desktops and laptops, microphones, audio amplifiers, USB acoustic interfaces, active and passive speakers, virtual reality headset and sensor glove, augmented reality goggles, 3D monitor, skin conductivity test kit, electrocardiogram, motion monitoring, EEG recording system, 3D printer, Tetramic spatial microphones, CAVE virtual reality system, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscopes and signal generators.
The main research areas include wearable interfaces, virtual and augmented reality, and user emotion recognition, speech recognition, computer vision, object and text recognition, augmented reality, localization technologies, soundscapes, and auralization.
Research in each of the project areas will be based on developing new and improved models, methods and algorithms, publication of papers in conferences and journals, and eventual filing of patent applications.
Research in all areas will be particularly focused on the further development of an advanced telemedicine system based on virtual and augmented reality interfaces and smart IoT devices. It is also planned to apply for new research projects, both for the further development of the VITA telemedicine platform, and for new research through newly established collaborations.
