Research
XRTC brings together researchers and students from across campus through research projects, capstone projects, scholarship programs and residencies. Together, we tackle the main technological and conceptual challenges of XR and develop technologies that benefit both users and society at large.
XRTC addresses core challenges in our research, including computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning, display and sensing technology and human-computer interaction. Faculty members research a wide variety of topics, such as:
- Digitizing humans and their behavior
- Wearable sensing technologies
- Haptic interfaces
- Distributed XR systems
- Display hardware
- User modeling
- Computational user interfaces
- Neural rendering
Research Initiatives
Needs-based Research
Partners work with XRTC to define research priorities, which get distributed to the community through a lightweight call for proposals: needs-based research. Researchers are then asked to respond with proposals, which then get reviewed, funded and supported by XRTC in close collaboration with its partners.
Seed-based Research
Researchers can propose specific research projects - seed-based research. These projects are reviewed, funded and supported by XRTC, in close collaboration with its partners.
