Brain surgery is extremely demanding. A neurosurgery simulator connects real and virtual worlds to create a versatile and highly realistic training environment. The medical model project MEDUSA will boost Upper Austria´s standing as medical engineering location.

A smart app-based solution to support patients aged 55 and older in physiotherapy and other movement-oriented treatments. Wearables fitted with sensors will track the success of physical exercises, providing patients with immediate feedback and raising motivation by gameifying training. This project is funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

The „WheelSim VR“ simulator uses 3-D visualizations to safely teach physically handicapped persons how to steer electric wheelchairs, resulting in the necessary proof of competence for insurance approval procedures. This project is funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

The „Sharing Stories, Sharing Life“ project aims at developing a training tool for uneducated elderly persons to help them reflect on experiences, share their feelings and improve their social competences both online and offline, thus overcoming their social exclusion.

The VR4Therapy´s main focus is on scientifically exploring the effects of mainly biography-related VR-Content on (a) the quality of life and the behavior of dementia patients and (b) the relief it may offer for families and nurses. This project was funded by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

This application for mobile devices takes a groundbreaking approach to supporting individual performance and recreation, contributing to the development of employees´ potentials and wellbeing in businesses and public bodies.

This is an innovative project arriving at quite novel results. Working with VR was a first for our project partner Red Cross Upper Austria. This implementation breaks the ground for an entertaining and therefore lasting educationally sound way to transport knowledge to young audiences.

The "New Reality" project aimed at offering elderly persons an immersive virtual reality platform that provides them with new environments, perspectives and, subsequently, new motivation to exercise.

The Rehab@Home system supports the sustainable rehabilitation of elderly stroke victims. R@H uses individually customized `serious games´ on standard hardware components and devices like Wii and KINECT, adapted to meet medical requirements.

Developed for the SafeMove project, this is a mobility solution for persons suffering from early stages, or "mild”, dementia. The system uses a set of hardware and software components to sustain and improve the patients´ mobility.
