About

Graduated in Systems and Informatics Engineering at Minho University in 1998. During his PhD he researched in the area of 3D reconstruction from Images divided between Philips Research, Eindhoven, and Minho University, until he concluded in 2006.

He worked in the industry in the field of interactive systems, until he joined FEUP as Invited Assistant Professor in 2009, in the Department of Informatics Engineering (FEUP), to teach and research in the areas of Computer Graphics, Interaction and Game design and development.

He is a collaborator at INESC TEC/INESC Porto since 2011. Currently he is also the director of the Multimedia Masters of University of Porto, and responsible by the Graphics, Interaction and Gaming (GIG) Lab at DEI/FEUP.

Abstract
The use of virtual reality technologies for data visualization and analysis has been an emerging topic of research in the past years. However, one type of data has been left neglected, the point cloud. While some strides have been made in the visualization and analysis of point clouds in immersive environments, these have yet to be used for direct manipulation interactions. It is hypothesized that as with other types of data, bringing direct interactions and 3D visualization to point clouds may increase the ease of performing basic handling tasks. An immersive application for virtual reality HMDs was developed in Unity to help research this hypothesis. It is capable of parsing classified point cloud files with extracted objects and representing them in a virtual environment. Several editing tools were also developed, designed with the HMD controllers in mind. The end result allows the user to perform basic transformative tasks to the point cloud with an ease of use and intuitive feeling unmatched by the traditional desktop-based tools. © 2021 Owner/Author.
