Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory has been established with the aim of solving projects related to the field of computer graphics. The current research is focused on human-computer interfaces, virtual reality systems, haptic interfaces, computational geometry and visualizations.


Main fields of research:

  • Development of the VRECKO system for virtual reality. - VRECKO is a component system with a growing set of components that allows quick creation of prototype applications. The applications can make use of various virtual reality devices present in the laboratory.
  • Analysis and visualization of protein molecules. - The main goal is to simplify the process of drug design. This interdisciplinary project is focused on the analysis of 3D structure of proteins using computational geometry. The results are then visualized using different techniques. These visualization methods are designed with respect to the specific demands of biochemists.
  • Finite element models visualization. - Although the modern computers are very fast they still do not have enough computational power to display large scenes. We are currently developing a new method to visualize huge models composed of finite elements.


The laboratory is equipped with modern devices and hardware, which is also available for bachelor and master students for working on their projects and theses.
