Along these years, the group has published its research in conferences at both the national and international spheres as well as in reputable journals from the related areas. The group currently regularly publishes around eight papers a year. Several book chapters, courses and tutorials were also produced by the team members, composed by twenty-six researchers among whom are undergraduate, graduate, master and PhD students, and university professors.
As an academic unit, every team member is also actively engaged in a particular ongoing investigation with the necessary support needed with regards to workstations, software and supervision. Graduate course reports, dissertations and PhD Thesis are usually conducted in the context of externally funded projects while sharing some of the project´s activities. Around four graduate investigations are performed each year within the group; in addition to three MSc students and one PhD degree completion.
Using its own modern infrastructure, GRVM has two laboratories available for development and the undertaking of experiments as well as a library and a conference room. To offer a suitable research environment, the laboratories are equipped with modern hardware and interaction devices for use in Virtual Reality applications, such as HMDs, data gloves, trackers and several controllers.
One of the main objectives of the group is to provide the scientific society and industrial partners with modern and advanced solutions for Virtual Reality problems. To achieve this goal, the group relies on a highly trained and engaged team.
Another prime goal the group strives to achieve – and at the same time one of the priorities of the University in which the GRVM is inserted – is to train and sharpen students’ capabilities, forming highly qualified human resources and preparing better scientists for tomorrow’s challenges.
