Virtual Reality, Serious Games and Agent-Based Modelling Research
|
My research area is concerned with Virtual Reality, faster than real time Agent-Based Modelling and 3D visualization of their output, and Serious Gaming technology.
In particular specialise in real-time High-Performance Large-Scale Simulations on the graphics-processing unit (GPU) and 3D visualization of agents’ behaviour.
