On June 22, 2022, we welcomed the core team of the dean's office of informatics at TU Wien at VRVis. TU Wien and VRVis have been closely linked since the founding of the research center in the year 2000 and can look back on many years of successful cooperation.
During the visit of Dean Gerti Kappel and professors Wolfgang Kastner and Peter Puschner, the researchers of VRVis gave an insight into current projects and research fields at VRVis by selected demos. The presentations, which included artificial intelligence solutions in various areas - from train platform edge segmentation to radiological diagnostics - as well as virtual reality applications for the simulation of visual impairments, to digital tools for the automotive industry or planetary research in the current Mars mission, to flood simulations, which provide information on the risk of flooding throughout Austria in the HORA3D project, convinced both by their versatility and by their joint technological base: visual computing.
In addition to the status quo, the future and the shaping of new research plans were also on the meeting's agenda because the productive alliance between the university and COMET Competence Center brings today's research and innovation to where it will be needed tomorrow. From which the next generation of researchers can also benefit enormously.
