Human Factors and Usability for the Development and Validation of Immersive Environments
Objective of Proposal Idea:
We are a domain of applied research of the CCG, dedicated to the domains of Human Perception, Interaction, and Usability. Our work is focused on how human factors and ergonomics might affect the quality of interaction between users and digital systems (including audiovisual immersive systems). We position ourselves as an ideal complementary partner to carry out a user-centered approach to the study and development of immersive systems. Our group has been using psychophysics (https://www.britannica.com/science/psychophysics, for quick definition) as a tool to evaluate and adjust immersive systems to user’s visual and auditory particularities (eg. measurement of user’s distance perception in different[...]

Regional Editors’ Network
Objective of Proposal Idea:
The Regional Editors' Network is a project run by Arkbound to create a network of hyperlocal and niche publications by aspiring journalists, principally from disadvantaged backgrounds, who are mentored by experienced journalists. In the process they are given access to a range of resources and support to produce their own media - whether this be digital platforms, contemporary magazines, transmedia or smaller niche operations. The project evolved and is supported by the Council of Europe (Accelerating Media Diversity).

Expert system for building energy and technologies modeling and assessment
Objective of Proposal Idea:
Development of integrated system based on physical and mathematical models of energy processes in buildings as a set of constructive 3D-elements with appropriate physical parameters and colour visualization for evaluation of real effects of technologies for energy-efficient buildings. Systems based on those models can serve as home energy controlling hubs that will collect real-time data on energy consumption data from smart household appliances and enable intelligent automation. This system will develop for optimizing usage of energy beyond the buildings, and they include the integration of renewable energy sources and the connection to the electricity distribution grid in order to take[...]

Sensors for smart water grids
Objective of Proposal Idea:
The use of common water system for the serve of technical and drinkable water economic expenses can go down on 45… 70% at the concordance of the modes of delivery and consumption of technical and drinkable water. The water pollution by solid and liquid impurities leads to a change in its optical and dielectric properties. This changes the transparency, which can be controlled in the optical range at several wavelengths. Using of multiple frequency bands allow to evaluate the transparency of water in these bands, as well as to estimate the size of present in water solid micro impurities with[...]
