Realistic 3D

The research group Realistic 3D is developing future 3D visualization for entertainment and industry, focusing on improving capture, compression and presentation technology by making use of sophisticated signal and image processing.

A true experience

Realistic 3D is a natural extension in the strive for an authentic presence. It presents a scene with a realistic depth and a motion parallax without user-worn spectacles. Applications can be found in the fields of digital signage, medical diagnostics, product design and construction, gaming, 3D-TV, telepresence and mobile telephony.

Research Focus

We pursue research, and related education, in the fields of multimedia communication systems that utilize realistic 3D as part. Our main research areas are:

• Synthesis and capture of 3D images and video
• View rendering techniques
• Modelling of 3D devices
• Coding of 3D images and video
• 3D Quality metrics and evaluations

Current Projects

Our research projects are all centred around technologies for realistic 3D visualization and how it can be applied to different areas. Our current projects are:

• Plenoptima
• MiLo
• RemoteS
• VRoom
• MetodVis (MetodVis 2.0 starting 2021-01-01)
• 3DPAT- Remote controlled 3D positioning in Augmented Telepresence
• INFOVIZ

Previous Projects

• STINT Pakistan
• European Training Network on Full Parallax Imaging
• LIFE - Light Field Evaluation System
• Quality of Experience for Augmented Telepresence 
• Digital Visualisation at School
• Future Airport with Remote Air Traffic Control
