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.

Organisation

Media and Information Technology

The research at MIT is conducted in groups that focuses on a separate aspect of visual information technology, but not isolated from each other. The collaborative atmosphere involves both basic and application oriented research.

Department of Science and Technology (ITN)

We research and teach in several technical and scientific disciplines in which our main areas are organic electronics, media, communications and logistics.
