Projects

The project aims to develop Accessible Augmented Reality systems deployed on end-user devices (like mobile phones, desktop PCs) in a different range of application areas (entertainment, engineering, education).

CALMARS (Conveying Affectiveness in Leading-Edge Mobile Augmented Reality) is a research project focusing on engaging users with new media applications using context aware applications and mobile AR. The CALMARS project involves the HITLabNZ with various partner institutions worldwide.

EURASIAPAC

A European funded project (FP7) and a cooperation between European and Asian research institutes aiming to strengthen ICT research collaboration between Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Immersive Learning Through Virtual Reality

This project explores how virtual reality technology can be applied to improve three distinct areas of tertiary education: engineering, audiology, as well as nursing and medicine.
