Researches

The Virtual Reality and Multimedia Research Group has two main areas of research:

1. Basic Virtual Reality Research－

   • Real-time motion collision detection, no-distortion mapping, mesh modeling simplification techniques, force feedback generation models.

2. Virtual Reality Applications－

   • Including R&D for medical imaging-guided surgery system hardware and software, development of Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing application software, design and manufacture of force feedback peripheral devices, multimedia-assisted teaching and training.
