RELATED PROJECTS
- The AgroTech research group at UPC, in collaboration with its spin-off Ugiat Technologies, has developed uPlayer, a new multimedia player concept that enables more intuitive video navigation and viewing, intelligently enhancing the user experience, especially on YouTube and other platforms, by integrating as a plugin or advanced player.
- The Image and Video Processing Group (GPI), part of the IDEAI-UPC research group, and the Digital Culture and Creative Technologies Research Group (DiCode) from the Image Processing and Multimedia Technology Center (CITM) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC), have co-organised the AI and Music Festival (S+T+ARTS) together with Sónar+D and Betevé, to explore the creative use of artificial intelligence in music.
- The Visualisation, Virtual Reality and Graphic Interaction Research Group (ViRVIG) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has participated in the XR4ED project, an initiative that connects the educational technology (EdTech) and Extended Reality (XR) sectors, with the aim of transforming learning and training across Europe.
- The inLab FIB at the UPC has collaborated with Lizcore® for the development of a proof of concept based on artificial intelligence to improve safety in climbing with autobelay devices. The system allows the automatic and accurate detection of risk situations before starting a route.
