Omnideck Powers VR Lab at TU Graz

Omnifinity is excited to announce that our Omnideck technology is now a key feature of the newly opened Immersive Computing Lab at TU Graz, part of the university’s Human-Centered Computing Labs. This state-of-the-art facility features advanced motion capture technology, with the Omnideck playing a central role in innovative research into virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

The Omnideck allows users to move freely in any direction within a virtual environment while remaining stationary in the real world. This unique capability is crucial for TU Graz’s research, enabling realistic simulations and immersive experiences for various VR and AR applications. One of the lab’s primary projects involves using the Omnideck to control robots remotely. Researchers can navigate virtual environments created from unexplored or hazardous areas, controlling robots safely and effectively via the treadmill.

In addition to robotics, the Omnideck is used for other research projects that require realistic human movement in virtual settings. The integration of the Omnideck with motion capture technology allows for detailed simulations and interactions, making it ideal for advancing research in human-computer interaction, remote sensing, and more.

Omnifinity is proud to support TU Graz in its pursuit of cutting-edge research in human-centred computing. We look forward to the innovative developments that will emerge from this exciting collaboration.
