Objectives

The global scope of CREATE is to develop a mixed reality framework that will enable highly interactive real-time construction and manipulation of realistic, virtual worlds based on real data sources. The goal is to develop VR technologies that combine 3D photorealistic representation of real sites, achieved with image-based modelling, and advanced interactive capabilities for end-users in the urban planning, design, and cultural heritage education domains.

Main Results

More than 10 articles published in the field of haptic interfaces, graphic applications, etc; 2 patents pending; Integration of multisensory data representation with multimodal user interface

End Users

Evaluation Methodologies

Questionnaires (designed in-House) were submitted to the end-users

Design Approach

Human-Centred Design
