Immersive Systems and Sensory Stimulation Laboratory
This new lab of the Institute of Systems and Robotics, and led by Prof. Paulo Menezes, was created in 2019 to address challenges related with the understanding of the Human as the Focus of New Interaction Paradigms. If you are looking for Affective Computing and Interaction, Behaviour and Intention Analysis, Augmented/Virtual and Mixed Reality, or Neural Computing, you are at the right place.
Our Story
IS3Lab was established with a primary focus on advancing Virtual and Augmented Reality, alongside Human-Robot Interaction.
Recognizing the profound impact of these technologies on individuals, Affective Computing emerged as a natural progression. Acknowledging and incorporating emotions into user interactions stands as a cornerstone for effective engagement with robots and other technological devices.
