- The Medical Simulation & Modelling group is using technologies such as haptics, virtual reality, and GPU-boosted physical modelling to built innovative simulation systems for use in areas as diverse as medical training, rehabilitation, rapid prototyping, and data visualisation. Current projects include haptic-enabled VR trainers for endotracheal intubation, sinus surgery, and stroke rehabilitation.
- The Graphics and Data Visualisation group is developing techniques that support the visualisation of large and complex data sets. Current projects are investigating Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality techniques to display information embedded in a real-world context.
- The Mobile Applications group is creating software to run on mobile platforms that people can use in their day-to-day life. Current projects include the development of tools that aim to improve the education experience for both teachers and students, and techniques that enable mobile applications to better interact with people.
- The Software Patterns group is investigating how pattern languages come about, how they evolve, and how they guide the design process. Current projects include discovering previously unknown patterns in software artifacts, and using patterns to critique student programs.
