Communica Lab hosts a research group that conducts research in information and communication technologies (ICT). One of its primary goals is to work towards a convergent information architecture across the Internet.
IoT/6G advancements will empower the creation of 'digital twins' — virtual replicas of physical entities — facilitating real-time monitoring, analysis, and optimization of systems and processes. Through a symbiotic relationship between sensing, imaging, and positioning technologies, individuals will gain enhanced situational awareness and predictive capabilities, akin to a 'sixth sense' enabled by technology.
This challenge explores integrating virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies with Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensor networks to create immersive and context-aware experiences. It includes investigating how AR and VR systems can leverage real-time sensor data from the physical environment to enhance immersion, interaction, and situational awareness.
