VR4REHAB Belgian Hackathon: Bruges 25-27 October 2018

/in , /by

The project VR4REHAB is getting to the last Hackathon, which will take place in Bruges on 25, 26 and 27 October 2018.

The event, co-organized by EuroVR and Sint Maartenskliniek, consists in a 2-days workshop which gathers together entrepreneurs, patients, rehabilitation personnel as well as technical specialists to find out new ideas concerning rehabilitation with VR.

The project VR4REHAB

Virtual Reality (VR) is growing rapidly especially in the fields of health-care and rehabilitation. While this technology makes therapy more fun, challenging and measurable, the state of VR is still in its infancy.

The three-year project VR4REHAB will change rehabilitative care dramatically. It aims to develop new VR-applications that promote better function and outcomes for patients with disabilities.

What are we looking for?

Together, we are working to find solution for 5 themes in rehabilitation:

  • Pain management
  • Engagement and immersion to promote treatment adherence
  • Behavioural therapy after Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Lower limbs and mobility
  • Training of upper limb movements

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for people with different personal and professional backgrounds:

  • Patients
  • Healthcare professionals in rehabilitation medicine
  • Designers
  • Developers
  • Entrepreneurs

VR in Engineering Education: Research Assistant/Associate – Imperial College London

/in , , /by

Imperial College London (South Kensington Campus), Department of Chemical Engineering, offers a job opportunity as “Research Assistant/Associate in Using VR in Engineering Education”.

Duration: 12 months

Closing date: 12 August 2018

Degree Level: Ph.D (UG or MSc degree in areas such as Computer Science and Engineering, will also be considered)

Major(s): Computer Science, Engineering.

Job summary

The main role of the post holder is to help develop an interactive, multimodal environment for the exploration of transient, three-dimensional phenomena in mechanics-based modules, e.g. fluid dynamics, generated via in-house computational fluid dynamics software. Through this approach, students will develop a ‘feel’ and an intuition for the physical mechanisms underlying the flow phenomena, and the crucial assumptions and approximations which can be made in tackling complex flows, such as the ones typical of a wide range of settings.

Qualifications

  • PhD, or equivalent, in an area pertinent to the subject (i.e. Computer Science, Engineering, etc.). Individuals without a PhD, but with a UG or MSc degree in areas such as Computer Science and Engineering, will also be considered, but relevant and extensive experience in the field (e.g. industry experience) will need to be demonstrated.
  • experience with the development of VR applications, using signal-processing techniques, and interfacing software with hardware devices (e.g. haptic interface systems, VRPN).
  • excellent knowledge of programming in C, C++, Matlab (or Python), and of OpenGL (or similar).
  • Knowledge of fluid mechanics is desirable, as is experience with mobile programming (e.g. Swift, C#).
