Civi-Lab – the Future of Visual Interactive and Creative Experiences

Research group Civi Lab – The Creativity, Interactivity and Visualization Computation Lab, studies emerging interactive and visualization technologies at the intersection of data visualisation, media technology, interactive data analytics, eXtended Reality (XR), visual decision support, creative computing, and UX.

Modern visualization technologies developed rapidly and latest emerging technologies changed how we re-create new realities in which we communicate, train, analyse, simulate and understand digital and real worlds today. Through our background in visualisation technologies we are capable to advance the current state to develop novel solutions to create new human-centered visual interactive experiences. 

Objectives

The group aims at research across disciplines, and close collaboration with industry and society to cope with emerging challenges that emerge through digital transformation through visual computing. We aim to be a creative space for exploring the future of visual interactive experiences. Our extensive international network, and research partnerships we are able to cope with latest trends and challenges.

We offer

We develop methods, technologies, simulators, user studies, and applications across industries such as digital games, healthcare, GLAM, production industries, mining, digital twins, and aviation.
