Virtual Reality Scientific Toolkit

Focus topic: Artificial Intelligence
Type of funding: Individual funding programmes
Funded institution:
  • Hochschule Karlsruhe – Technik und Wirtschaft

With the Prisma funding, Prof. Dr. Matthias Wölfel, CZS Endowed Professor for Intuitive and Perceptive User Interfaces, is expanding a toolkit developed in his research group to enable broad application in science and industry.

Goals

Virtual reality (VR) has become firmly established in recent years and is used in numerous application areas. However, a systematic investigation of applications often fails because the development of test routines in virtual environments is still a major challenge. So far, neither a procedure could be established nor do satisfactory toolkits exist that facilitate access. 

Professor Wölfel's working group has therefore developed the Virtual Scientific Toolkit. The toolkit is available as open source software and is to be further developed within the framework of Prisma funding.
