Scien3fic goals
ViRVIG is a joint Research Center involving both UdG (Girona) and UPC (Barcelona).
Its main objec3ve is to generate knowledge and produce scien3fic research results in Virtual Reality, Visualisa3on and
Advanced Interac3ve Graphics Systems.
ViRVIG is also aiming to respond to the needs of the industrial and public sectors resul3ng in advanced, problem-‐oriented
solu3ons.
Research Areas
ViRVIG Research Areas include:
• Management and Visualiza3on of Very Complex 3D Models
• Geometry Processing and Geometric Modelling
• Visualisa3on and Modelling of Volume Data
• Deformable Systems and Physically Based Anima3on
• Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Advanced Interac3on
• Capture and Acquisi3on of Complex Geometric Models
• Procedural Modelling
• Realis3c and Interac3ve Rendering
• Light Transport Simula3on
• Expressive Rendering and Computa3onal Aesthe3cs
• Computa3onal Geometry
Facili3es
ViRVIG Labs are located in the UdG Scien3fic Parc and in the UPC Barcelona Campus.
Present facili3es include several VR Systems:
• One Four-‐wall Cave
• One PowerWall
• Several portable VR Systems.
ViRVIG VR Systems have been designed and assembled in ViRVIG Labs.
ViRVIG facili3es also include hap3c robots and laser scanners
