Virtual Urban Environments are an important content to the Virtual Reality Systems used in applications such as urban planning and management, virtual tourism, cultural heritage and education. This kind of virtual environments make available three-dimensional...

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 768935. The core objective of FEEdBACk is to promote, stimulate and deliver energy efficiency through behavioural...

Accurate 3D reconstruction and realistic visualization of both archaeological sites and ancient monuments allow experts to finetune their theories on the lost links in the history of civilization. Although the 3D reconstruction is a major challenge, precisely...

The creation of virtual environments is an important topic that has been addressed in recent years. Our team has undertaken a number of internationally leading projects in the field, in particular, using novel procedural modelling techniques to build...

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have an important role in a wide range of application domains, both for the management of spatial data and as a decision support tool. Until recently, priority has been given to the spatial issues, leaving the temporal...

The development of mobile platform's technology induces innovative services and applications.The increasing bandwidth of these mobile platforms' communication system allows the transmission of larger amounts of information. On the other hand, the...
