Semantic SLAM for better navigation in outdoor scenes. Our team at Digital Twin Technology (DTT) is exploring and researching semantic SLAM algorithms to address the scope of mapping large-scale outdoor scenes, which is an important part of the DIDYMOS-XR project. SLAM, short for simultaneous localization and mapping, involves the concurrent mapping of an area while […]
AR with a Purpose As part of DIDYMOS-XR, the team at the Vision and Robotics Lab at AUB developed what we call Human-in-the-loop mapping. This is a technology which enables a user wearing an AR headset to visualize a 3D map of an environment superimposed over reality in real time. The benefit of a system […]
