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.
Augmented Reality
Developing Augmented Reality Support and Applications since 2005.
Augmented reality has a great potential for a broad set of application cases. The possibility of providing information and guidance during task execution for industrial, medical, exploration, and many other scenarios may reduce the overall times and the number of human errors that typically occur. Health, education, and entertainment are also potential targets.
With us...
IS3L is focused on Real Problems of Real People in the Real World
Looking for a place to develop skills for your future career, or searching for a solution for your problem?

Creativity
As a student or collaborator your ideas are always welcome to make our projects even better.

Multi Disciplinary
Learning and contributing to other scientific and technical areas is part or our mission.

Research and Development
Targetting real world problems we aim at contributing to a better quality of life for all.
Technology Transfer
IS3L collaborates with industrial companies
We work with industry for turning concepts into solutions or products.
Affective Interaction
As humans are driven by emotions, interactive systems and robots must comply with that.
Interactive Systems must learn to adapt to users, understand they their emotions and even be reciprocal in exhibiting emotions to develop some level of empathy. You are invited to participate in our study and help teaching a robot on how to express emotions.
Interation with the Focus on the User
----- Empathic Robots
Neural Computing
Deep Neural Networks are unlocking complex problems every day.
Besides exploiting existent architectures in new application fields, we are exploring new biologically inspired structures.
