Influence of cartographic visualization methods on the success of solving practical and educational spatial tasks
The project is based on interdisciplinary communication and collaboration of cartographers, psychologists, pedagogues and IT experts. The project allows us to find answers to questions about how the different characteristics of models and different user interfaces influence the effectiveness of “communicating information” — e.g. the degree of understanding, the effectiveness… Read More

Mobility of students and education staff leading to the integration of the interactive visual analysis with analysis and visualization of protein structures and their ensembles
The objective of this project was to establish the cooperation platform between the visualization groups at the University of Bergen and the Masaryk University. This platform forms the basis for joining closely related research and education activities currently ongoing in both groups.

Analysis and visualization of protein structures
We have selected the 3D Voronoi diagrams as the powerful data structure sufficient for solving many protein-scan problems including the above introduced channel search. Currently, in our prototype implementation we are able to compute exactly all channels leading through given protein molecule to an active site in a very short… Read More

Triangulated models in service of haptic and virtual reality
The main goal of the project is to develop such algorithms and methods in the area of triangulated models construction and modification suitable for VR simulations and to use them in this context. The developed solution will be used mainly in the context of multimodal human computer interaction methods, namely… Read More

Visualization of protein structures
The structure of the protein is highly complex and contains up to several thousands of components. This means that various representations have to be used during the visualization. In many cases, more precise exploration and manipulation needs to emphasize selected details. Standard visualization methods are not able to display the… Read More

Realistic application of formal methods in component systems
The project supports component-based application development by combining components with formal behavior description and by designing tools for automated checking of the architecture of applications composed of components with formal behavior description. The project aims to design and implement a functional prototype of a platform for formal verification of component applications using… Read More

Shared Virtual Worlds
The aim of the project is to link high-speed networks with several data streams of 2 workplaces focused on the research of computer graphics and virtual reality and to integrate “local virtual worlds” into one unit. Spatial images presented on large wall stereo projection walls will be transmitted between the… Read More

HCILAB – Human-Computer Interactions Laboratory
Human computer interaction laboratory was built and equipped with the recent available peripheral devices for virtual reality. New collision detection algorithms for static and dynamic scenes take advantage of bounding volumes hierarchy with k-DOPs. The solution of dynamic collision tasks is based on prediction using hierarchy of extended k-DOPs. The… Read More
