Immersive Visualization

The Immersive Visualization Unit researches and develops various techniques to create an immersive and captivating visualization of data using large-scale display systems, such as immersive domes and stereoscopic vision (3D).

Our research also includes technologies such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). A vision that the group is working towards is to create systems and software that provide a feeling of being enveloped by and deeply engaged with their content regardless of the type of device or display and interaction technology used. The goal is to make the technology transparent so that the user primarily thinks and works with their content and to minimize disruption of the technology, both hardware and software. It should also be as natural as possible to continue working with their data and content when you change the device or system for visualization.

Digital autopsies with 3D visualisation technology

It is already possible to perform part of the autopsy with the assistance of mixed reality, and fully digital autopsies might be achieved in the future. In the long term, this technology could render autopsies more efficient and legally certain.
