Virtual Reality, Graphics & Simulation

VRGraphicS mixes visual creativity, programming, mathematics, and an understanding of people and interfaces. We create virtual characters, serious games, GPU-based solutions for science and engineering problems, medical simulations including haptics technology, and study presence and behaviour in virtual worlds.
