Visual computing studies the creation and understanding of images, shapes, and three-dimensional spaces by computational means. As we seek to increase our understanding of not just how to create and analyze images and sounds, but also how we humans perceive, react to, and interact with them, research in visual computing is of an increasingly interdisciplinary nature.
Research topics: Computer graphics and animation, computer vision, generative modeling in machine learning, virtual acoustics.
Games Now! is an open lecture series on the dominant topics and emerging trends in games.
Psychological theories on motivation hold great promise for video game development and for understanding how games impact people, but only little is known about how these theories actually are used in the games industry.
Research on computational intrinsic motivation could answer some fundamental questions about the nature of creativity, but also improve household robotics or even self-driving cars
Computer scientists have designed a video player that the small primates can activate on demand
The magazine pays tribute to the development of a model that starkly reduces the amount of data needed for generating new, artificial images
A recent doctoral dissertation shows players appreciate evoked emotional experiences, even when some are far from positive
The European Research Council Consolidator Grant goes to Professor Jaakko Lehtinen for a project to build a computer that “sees” the real world much better than the current methods do
