Our research and innovation projects investigate specific topics or problems following systematic approaches, aiming to generate new knowledge, understanding, or solutions and advance the state-of-the-art in that area. They encompass a wide range of topics and disciplines, often involving active collaboration with other researchers, experts, and stakeholders. Next, we list our completed and ongoing research and innovation projects.
PRINIA XR
2024 / Funded by EU Horizon 2020 through SERMAS
The project is an initiative to address the critical need to protect individual privacy and personal data in the evolving landscape of facial recognition technology with Extended Reality (XR) environments. XR introduces new levels of data collection and interaction, typically involving headsets (e.g., head-mounted displays, HMDs) equipped with cameras and sensors, magnifying the risks to user privacy. PRINIA aims to develop an autonomous module that implements facial recognition in XR environments while ensuring the protection of individual privacy and compliance with relevant EU legislation and regulations.
GUIRA
2023 / Funded by EU Horizon 2020 through VOJEXT
The project focuses on developing a customized graphical user interface (GUI) that ensures high usability, functionality, and aesthetics. It aims to provide a user-friendly and accessible interface for mobile robotic systems that enable new ways of automation in a human-robot collaborative environment. The project involves close collaboration with stakeholders and potential end-users. It incorporates validated research and industry methods to build a reliable information architecture and enhance user acceptance and ergonomics.
AI4YW
2023 / Co-funded by NextGenerationEU
The project addresses the need to equip young people with the necessary skills and knowledge to adapt and thrive in the ever-changing landscape of cutting-edge technologies. With the rapid advancements in fields like artificial intelligence, it is essential to provide young people with the tools they need to stay ahead of the curve and take advantage of the opportunities presented by these developments. The project aims to empower them with a comprehensive understanding of the latest technological advancements, critical thinking skills, and practical experience to ensure they are well-equipped to make informed decisions and succeed in the modern digital economy.
VIREO
2023 / Funded by EU Horizon 2020 through AI4Media
TOUCAN
2022 - 2024 / Co-funded by EU ERDF, ESF, and PA 2014-2020
The project aims to enhance the work of User Experience (UX) professionals in designing user-centered digital products and services. Through the implementation and delivery of a comprehensive toolset, the project aims to provide UX designers and researchers with the necessary resources to create products that meet the highest standards of usability, accessibility, and customer experience.
