The research group LSyM focuses its activity on simulation systems development, employing the latest Virtual Reality techniques. LSyM has always worked looking for close collaboration with the company and obtaining important results in the field of civil works. The group is a part of the Institute on Robotics and Information and Communications Technologies (IRTIC) of the Universitat de València.
Lines of research:
- Integration of the real-time immersive simulators: design of all simulator’s elements, including both hardware and software (dynamic models of objects and 3-D scenarios).
- Development of e-learning platforms based on 3-D simulation: simulation technologies based on WebGL and Unity-3D in order to implement virtual 3-D environments, executable from the browser on different computing platforms. Use of Moodle and other e-learning standards
- Advanced computing in graphics processing units (GPUs): Development of performance league calculation programmes based on CUDA, OpenCL and shaders, that run on GPU network architectures.
- Real-time physical modelling: Development of simulation and of models of collaborative behaviour between avatars.
Fields of application:
- Industrial: Virtual and augmented reality systems in several industrial areas (transport, railway sector, construction, maritime sector, etc.).
- Education: Web-based simulation of learning environments, e-learning platforms for training and evaluation courses.
