Current Work

Since 1998 I have been working with development/project leading in Visualization and Virtual Reality projects at HPC2N andVRlab.

 

Some of the projects I have been involved in at VRlab are:

• PET visualization - Visualization of Positron Emission Tomography data
• Virtual Mouth - Visualization/simulation of degeneration of mouth cavity.
• Test of Tendency of falling - Immersive Environment for testing tendency of falling of elderly people.
• Stroke simulator - Simulating the environment of a stroke patient.
• osgVortex - Framework for authoring rich, simulated virtual environments.
