About ICG

ICG is the only Austrian academic group with the charter to address both
Computer Vision and Computer Graphics, and is carefully nurturing a culture of
Digital Visual Information Processing to resolve the artificial boundaries
between computer graphics and computer vision. The research at ICG is focused
on Computer Graphics, Visualization, Medical Computer Vision, Object
Recognition, Object Reconstruction, Robotics, Virtual Reality and Augmented
Reality.

The Christian Doppler Laboratory (CDL) for Handheld Augmented Reality aims to
advance the state of the art in research on Augmented Reality (AR) on mobile
phones. Specifically, the CDL investigates new approaches for efficient
tracking, consistent real/virtual rendering and comprehensible situated
information presentation, while considering the constraints of mobile phones
and similar handheld devices.
