The activity of the Virtual Reality Group in CeDInt is mainly focused on the development of 3D applications and tools for many sectors, such as Domotics, Medicine, professional training or virtual representation of real environments.
The Energy Efficiency and Smart Grid group researches ICT-based systems and infrastructures applied to the Next Generation Electrical Grids with the objective of improving efficiency in energy consumption and minimizing the ecological footprint.
Light is essential in our lives. Despite we do not realize about it, a huge variety of optical devices such as lamps, gadget screens and signaling systems surrounds us every day. This leads to an increasing and powerful optical industry where designs, models and studies are carried out in order to improve the actual devices. Our research team is a reference in this working field because its innovative lens design model, Simultaneous Multiple Surface (SMS), has created a new way of working where optical models are achieved with a better performance.
Biometrics Research Lines cover a diverse number of topics not only in Biometrics and Cryptography, but also in topics related to Biosignals, like Stress Detection or biometric identification by means of Human Odour. These lines have result in a great number of Publications and Patents applications.
In this recently launched research area, both the technical and economic perspectives on the next generation of telecommunications infrastructures (FTTx, Docsis 3.0, 4G, etc), contents and applications (on-line media, mobile apps, etc) are examined with a look at their sustainability and their usage in the home and personal environments. Emerging paradigms such as context-awareness, immersive media and Internet of things are specifically considered.
The Wireless Optical Communications Group (Grupo de Comunicaciones Ópticas Inalámbricas – GCOI) focuses its research on to non-guided optical communications including both experimental developments of specific communications systems and theorical studies of the transmission channel in closed environments.
