Welcome to TOHTECH VIrtual Reality Lab

Our research focuses on two main topics: Multimedia Signal Processing and Extended Reality. Multimedia content is one of the most consumed content types in Internet applications. Yet, processing and transmission of multimedia content over networks pose many challenges. Our main goal is to 1) propose efficient transmission methods for multimedia content and 2) evaluate and model User Quality of Experience (QoE/UX), including short-form videos, 360-degree videos, and volumetric videos. Extended Reality is a term that encompasses Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality. Our main goal is to 1) develop XR applications for education, training, and entertainment purposes, and 2) develop efficient hands-free interaction methods.
