VMC
Visual Media Technologies Co-Lab
The Visual Media Technologies Co-Lab (VMC2) Research Lab belongs to the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts of the Cyprus University of Technology, and the CYENS Centre of Excellence. The VMC2 group was created by merging the “Visual Media Computing Research Lab” of the Cyprus University of Technology with the Biometrics for Smart Human-centred Emerging Technologies (BIO-SCENT) multidisciplinary research group of the CYENS Centre of Excellence. VMC2 lab belongs, and operates in both Institutions.
Research at the VMC2 lab focuses on developing novel and applied techniques driven by the need to improve the life quality of humans. Within this scope, research in this group targets the development of techniques that aim to (a) Protect humans by offering novel ways to create safe environments both in physical and cyber spaces, and (b) Allow humans to adapt in a better way to their environment by safeguarding their physical and mental safety, improving their productivity, and enhancing their overall experience. The aforementioned topics are addressed through research and development in the areas of Biometrics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning and their combination with emerging technologies such as mobile computing, ubiquitous computing, Virtual and Mixed Reality.
