Description of the research topic:

Description
Virtual reality (VR) platforms that are based on information sharing and collaboration, gave many important focuses to the researches in computer sciences. These spaces provide a more professional service palette and offer broader possibilities for researching, developing and introducing new ways of collaboration and information transfer.

Designing and developing VR spaces and services. There are many possible space that worth to design and develop for finding a new method for collaboration or information transfer. Spaces from the real world or from the imagination can be designed. A space from the real world can be a historical building, a hospital or a blood cell, as well as a medical laboratory created on a blade of grass or on a comet. The main focus is in the research is on a new, not existing method, functionality, service that can make the collaboration or information transfer more efficient. In the development of the designed space, a 3D computer graphic software and a virtual reality space/software/service have to be used.

Designing new collaboration and information transfer methods is also an important field. Here existing spaces can be used in a new manner, with new services and methods of collaboration and/or information transfer. The new methods or services can belong to a part of the life: it can be used, e.g., in a school, a bank, or at home for making the life easier. The developed methods and services have to be tested and analyzed by a survey among the target users.

An immersive virtual reality environment has to be user for these topics. It can be the MaxWhere or any other immersive VR environment.
