Visual computing in support of digitalization and sustainability
A dozen best practice projects show how Austrian cutting-edge technology is advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Technological innovations can only contribute to the sustainable development of society and the economy if they focus on people. In the spirit of digital humanism, we have been researching solutions that rely on cutting-edge technologies such as visual computing, virtual and augmented reality or artificial intelligence and focus on the human user for more than 20 years. As a COMET center, VRVis is a science and technology flagship that conducts research on key topics for Austria and Europe. With its solutions, VRVis is already contributing to the achievement of 10 of the UN's 17 global development goals.
Austria's innovations have already provided numerous technological answers to today's pressing issues - a fact that we as a research location can be proud of. In this brochure, we therefore present best practice examples from our partners that show how sustainable social, economic and ecological development can be achieved. Interviews with our funding, scientific as well as company partners provide insights into current technological strategies.
