Objectives
The aim of this proposal is to form a team able in medium and long term to propose, manage and develop algorithms and sophisticated applications from the technologies grouped around the concepts of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), in advanced training and simulation environments. In this way the group foundation attempts to achieve a vertical integration of all the factors involved in the development of advanced applications on virtual and augmented reality, whether these factors come from the academic, business or institutional world. The type of activities that will be carried out inside the group will be:· Definition of strategic objectives with commercial interest for the industrial network at the Community of Madrid, under the advanced training needs existing at both industrial and institutional levels.· Basic research on the development of mathematical models, new algorithms and efficient implementation of fundamental technologies. · Applied research on the development of techniques to solve specific problems on VR and AR.· Development and evaluation of commercially exploitable systems.· Commercial exploitation of the developed systems.According to the goals, the next tasks have been defined:· Simplification of virtual environments, 3D geometric models and multi-resolution modelling.· Simulation with collision detection, deformable models and force-feedback.· Advanced design and control of haptic devices· Advanced visualization in mathematical modelling problems (finite elements, finite differences, etc.)· Design and control of other devices for virtual reality (smell, sound, etc.) and hazards environments (temperature, radiation)
