The Brain, Health, & Virtual Reality (BHV) Research Group of the Multimedia Knowledge and Social Media Analytics Laboratory at the Information Technologies Institute of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas calls for an expression of interest for the role of Technical Project Manager.
In BHV we are active in studying how novel paradigms of interaction that rely on virtual, augmented and mixed reality can be adopted for the benefit of both social (Culture and Education) and industrial (Architecture, Fashion) domains. In this regard, remote and on-site visitors of museums and cultural sites enjoy a drastically different experience; classrooms are re-invented to offer more accessible and inclusive teaching, learning and assessment; architects can collaborate with fellow-engineers in a virtual environment with powerful simulations; and fashion designers and consumers can capitalise on the benefits of virtual tryons. Moreover, in the era of metaverses here at the BHV group, we aim to explore effective ways and methodologies to integrate and interact with heterogeneous representations and datasets to create meaningful virtual worlds across the spectrum of our daily lives. Our interdisciplinary research and creative team places special emphasis on multisensory, multimodal and multi-layered representation of information, aided by emerging technologies for improved accessibility and enhanced inclusion in immersive and photorealistic virtual worlds.
