    Selected Projects

    To merge the advantages of the physical world with the possibilities of interactive digital information, we bring real paper to life: We are developing a projection based mixed reality environment that enables touch interaction by tracking and thus allows visualization and simulation on real paper or a normal table.

    The Collaborative Interactive Visualisation + Analysis Lab (CIVAL) at ETH Zurich’s Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) in Singapore facilitates the usage of ICT-based research infrastructure for future cities research. Mehr...

    Virtual Singapore's goal is to develop a pipeline for the semi-automatic 3D reconstruction and maintenance of a city model from Singapore in LOD3 (facade modeling). This is achieved by aggregating multiple data sources (airborne imagery, airborne LIDAR, mobile laser scan), semantic annotation, and interactive 3D editing tools.
