The human-computer interaction (IHC) and the connections between these with artificial intelligence and automatic learning are about the understanding and visualization of complex data. We have developed essential applications in astronomy, intelligent cities, and agriculture, among others.

 

Inria Chile seeks to extend its team with a postdoc to lead an R&D project focused on designing, implementing, and evaluating interactive visualization systems that use mixed reality technologies, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and wall displays. These systems aim to help make and understand results in different applications such as astronomy, understanding of biological structures, and applications in industries such as mining or retail.

 

The research objectives orbit around designing immersive reality-based visualization techniques that support effective decision-making and how to evaluate these visualization techniques, beyond considering the errors or timing users take to perform a task?
