CUREP - VR
This web-site is dedicated on presenting the work done by the Image, Sound & Cultural Representation Lab of the Department of Cultural Technology and Communication, towards Virtual and Mixed Reality.
CUREP lab has already started a cooperation with VR First, a global program designed to enable creators, companies, and governments interested in exploring the power and potential of immersive technologies. VR First Labs and facilities are key locations for nurturing new talent in VR/AR development and converting ideas into business opportunities. Furthermore, VR First offers competition services to prepare companies for the challenges of tomorrow. VR First has already provided CUREP with an Oculus Rift, which was used in several lab projects.
Mixed - Reality (MR) worlds are created by fusing together real and virtual elements. Here we present SEaMlESS, a multiuser, long-distance room-scale MR world. SEaMlESS utilizes widespread 3D modelling techniques and object tracking technologies to enable free user movement by providing full-body motion control, accurate real object representation with in the virtual world, as well as interaction with real and virtual objects.
