Exploring multimodal interaction and multisensory perception
in spatial environments.
Who we are
The XR interaction research group explores multimodal interaction and multisensory perception in spatial environments. The expertise in the XRi group is at the intersection of human-computer interaction, game development and media programming. Our mission is to investigate methods for creating highly immersive and interactive experiences.
The XRi group uses the Digital Realities Lab and is part of the Competence Center Smart Systems in Society.
What we do
R-AIMS explores the use of responsible AI in health and energy. We develop intelligent virtual agents who support the user in their tasks and evaluate user trust.
