Research group has established a new Laboratory for Smart Environment Technologies, with equipment funded by HRZZ project ELISE: Easy Living in Smart Environments. In addition, the group uses the following laboratories: Laboratory for Multimedia Systems and Virtual Reality, Laboratory for Electroacoustics, Laboratory for Communication and Information Systems, Laboratory for IP Technologies and Communication Protocols and Laboratory for Digital Television and Video. The laboratories are equipped with desktops and laptops, microphones, audio amplifiers, USB acoustic interfaces, active and passive speakers, virtual reality headset and sensor glove, augmented reality goggles, skin conductivity test kit, electrocardiogram, motion monitoring, EEG recording system, 3D printer, Tetramic spatial microphones, CAVE virtual reality system, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscopes and signal generators.
Research areas include wearable interfaces, low-power sensors and ambient energy harvesting, speech recognition, computer vision, object and text recognition, augmented reality, localization technologies, soundscaping and auralization.
Research in each of the project areas will be based on developing new and improved models, methods and algorithms, publication of papers at conferences and journals and possibly patent applications.
