Past Projects

The blue-c

The blue-c project at ETH Zurich aims at fundamental research for, and development of a new generation of virtual design and modeling environments centering on the interaction between humans and models. By integrating three-dimensional human representations into immersive virtual environments, many of today's collaboration and interaction techniques can be improved and new ones will be invented.
Today's technology enables information exchange and simple communication. Our team will build a system that enables a number of participants to interact and collaborate in a virtual world at an unprecedented level of immersion. The blue-c will support: fully three-dimensionally rendered human inlays, supporting motion and speech in real time. Interaction metaphors between humans and simulated artifacts, are they functional, behavioral, or formal models or combinations of those.
