AI Enhancement for Remote Virtual Consultations in Healthcare Provision for Patients with Chronic Conditions
Supervisors. Dr Michael McCann (ATU Donegal), Dr Vicky O’Rourke (ATU Donegal), Dr Karen McGuigan (QUB). Project Summary. Healthcare provision has seen and unprecedented shift in delivery modes that has been accelerated significantly over the past 24 months due to the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic. Read more
Computational Modelling of Ageing Brains: Virtual Populations for In Silico Clinical Trials
Training. The University of Liverpool has set up a Doctoral Training Network in Technologies for Healthy Ageing to train the next generation of physical scientists and engineers to develop novel technologies and devices to address the challenges faced by older people and our clinical colleagues who work with them.

Deep Learning based Computer Graphics for Creating Virtual Characters
This project aims at modelling human motion and body/facial shape data with deep neural network to synthesize virtual characters for computer graphics, animation and games. Read more
(NIHR) The impact of virtual wards on the health and care system
The Covid-19 pandemic forced the NHS to adopt innovative ways of working at speed. One such innovation was the introduction of virtual wards, which allow patients to get the care they need in the comfort of their own homes. Read more
Digital twins and virtual reality: Assessing environmental impact on cognitive flexibility and creativity
When are we more productive? At home or in the office? This is an exciting opportunity to join an interdisciplinary project to investigate the effect of environment on productivity and creativity. Read more
The virtual body schema project: How can body schema be objectively defined and measured?
The body schema can be loosely defined as the representation of the body in space, i.e., how you know you can reach the pint at the bar but not the bottle behind it; that you can fit through the door but not the cat-flap; that you must dive to kick a ball or duck to avoid a punch. Read more
Integrating information from vision and touch in virtual reality telepresence systems
Virtual reality systems are fundamentally altering how we study human sensory perception. Similarly, to build good virtual reality systems we need a clear understanding of how the brain integrates sensory information into a robust and useful percept. Read more
The role of Practise-Based Virtual Reality Learning (PBVRL) in Nursing education in Ireland
Supervisors. Dr. Nigel McKelvey, Ms. Elaine Walsh, Dr Mark Porter, Dr Louise McBride, Ms Lydia Fowley, Ms Pamela Gallagher. Project Summary. Read more
Building Full Body Illusion in Immersive Virtual Reality with Physically Based Avatars
This project aims to apply the paradigm of physically based animation to control virtual reality (VR) avatars – characters that represent the player in VR. Read more
PhD studentship in Artificial Intelligence for Phenotypic Virtual Screening
Environment. Imperial College London is consistently rated as one of the World’s leading universities (. https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2022. Read more
A framework for museums participatory design in virtual reality assisted by AI (VP2209)
The aim of this project is to identify possible solutions to Small and Medium Museums’ (SMM) digital poverty through a collaborative participatory approach and test and implement such solutions by developing a reliable and sustainable infrastructure that supports digitalization of SMM. Read more
Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Recent developments in low cost VR displays have led to a resurgence of research into binaural 3-D audio. Whilst a good 3-D audio experience can be given using the state of the art technologies, there are still many problems to be solved. Read more
Virtual acoustic simulation for auralisation
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Auralisation is the audio equivalent of visualisation – the accurate rendering of an acoustic environment such that the listener perceives the result as being natural or real. Read more
MPhil A evaluation of the use of Virtual Reality (VR) 3D scans for research into archaeological human populations
Archaeological human remains (both skeletonised and mummified) are frequently studied using morphological and imaging techniques such as photography, 3D laser scanning and CT scanning. Read more
