3D Technologies

Visual communications are pervasive in information technology and are a key enabler of most new emerging media. In this context, the NRC Institute for Information Technology (NRC-IIT) performs research, development and technology transfer activities to enable access to 3D information of the real world.

Research in the 3D Technologies program focuses on three main areas:

• Virtualizing Reality and Visualization
• Collaborative Virtual Environments
• 3D Data Mining and Management

Current Projects

• 3D Examination of the Mona Lisa
• 3D from Paintings and Old Photos
• Advanced User Interfaces Design & Evaluation
• Alexandria
• Application Framework for Tele-Collaboration
• Automation of Image-Based Modeling
• Cleopatra
• Demotride
• Digitizing and Tracking in a Dynamic Environment
• DIMENSION (Distributed Multimedia Environment for Synchronous Interaction Over a Network)
• Nefertiti
• Texture Mapping from 3D Models
• The Human Shape Variability Study
• The Virtual Boutique
