The technologies being pursued draw on the Group’s expertise in computer graphics, visualization, mathematical modelling, computer-based simulation, digital cartography, terrain/seabed visualization, virtual environments, position sensing, haptic devices, imaging and their skills and industrial experience in the engineering of large complex computer-based systems.

The real-world problems being addressed by the Group have been carefully selected to match research priorities and initiatives of the UK and EC. Thus, the objectives for the Group include investigating:

• Simulation techniques of complex environments in support of virtual and augmented reality,
• Support for a wide range of problem-solving activities by effecting a cohesion of numerical simulation, visualization and data management
• Innovative data models and visualization techniques for geospatial data
• Imaging technologies with a particular emphasis on registration, reconstruction, fusion and position localisation within medical images.

SimVis is split into four research groups: Medical, Modelling, Heritage and Games.

SimVis Heritage Breaking News
The 'Valley of the First Ironmasters' site was launched on 13 December 2004 by archaeologist Julian Richards of 'Meet the Ancestors' fame. Hull Museums hosted a press launch in the morning and, later in the day, the University of Hull hosted a launch for ERAS and University members. The site was co-ordinated by Peter Halkon, Martin Millett and Ian Dolphin. Visit the site here.
