The eXtended Reality spectrum, which includes virtual-reality and mixed-reality, allows users to experiment on diverse interactive applications with distinctive and sometimes unusual varieties of interactions.

This project aims to study and propose new interactions, always focusing on the usability and the user’s immersion in the XR scene.

The research focuses on developing innovative interfaces and interaction methods that allow the users to interact with the environment naturally and consistently.

Lighting Estimation for Mixed Reality.

Consistent rendering of lighting is a substantial part of the eXtended reality universe, particularly in mixed reality, where real objects are combined with virtual objects. The consistent lighting of real and virtual objects increases the user`s immersion and dramatically improves the user`s experience.

The rendering of consistent lighting requires previous knowledge of the environment lighting. This is a challenging task due to the unknown aspects of real-world lighting settings.

This research project aims to estimate real-world lighting using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Exploring Deep Learning methods, combining with computer graphics expertise, we aim to extract valuable information about the environment lighting to provide a consistent mixed reality world.
