Virtual Reality Technologies
OUR STORY
From Psychology to Virtual REality
Our company was established in 2014 as a spinout from the Department of Psychology of the University of Cyprus, following funding from the European Research Council (ERC) and the Ministry of Labour and Commerce of the Republic of Cyprus. While we work on our own products for the market, we also provide services to the public and other companies, in a variety of fields including Architecture and Interior Design, Education and Training, Human Resources, Heritage, and Arts. We also coordinate or participate as partners in many national and international funded projects. What makes us different from other technology companies in that we combine our advance technical skills in developing Virtual and Augmented Reality applications with a strong background in Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience. This allows us to build evidence-based applications that are empirically validated by rigorous laboratory research.
EXAMPLE PROJECTS
Major funded Projects
Neo-Prism-C
Funded by a Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network, project Neo-Prism-C aims to apply the Research Domain Criteria approach, a novel framework for understanding psychopathology, to the study of the mechanisms of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, in order to inform and begin to test appropriate treatments. The project is led by the University of Cyprus and has a budget of 4 million euros. Beyond Silversky3D, beneficiaries include the University of Jyväskylä, the UC Louvain, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Crete, the University of Athens, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Regionaal Instituut voor Dyslexie B.V, and the Nilo Mäki Foundation.
CLIPE
CLIPE addresses the core challenges of designing new techniques to create and control interactive virtual characters, benefiting from opportunities open by the wide availability of emergent technologies in the domains of human digitization and displays, as well as recent progresses of artificial intelligence. It also funded by a MSCA-ITN grant of 4 million euros. CLIPE is led by the University of Cyprus while beneficiaries and partners include several renown universities and companies, e.g., CUL London, KTH Stocholm, Trinity College Dublin, Inria, the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, the Max-Planck-Institute for Intellgent Systems, Amazon, the BBC, and Ubisoft.
ENTERCY
EnterCY aims to provide an enhanced tourist experience, before, during and after the visit to Cyprus, by suing cutting-edge technology such as Virtual and Augmented Reality and interactive content that includes reconstructions and storytelling. EnterCY is funded by the Research Promotion Foundation of Cyprus with an Integrated grant of 1 million euros and is coordinated by Frederick Research Center. In addition to Silversky3D, partners include the University of Cyprus, CyRIC, the Association of Cyprus Travel Agents (ACTA), the Cyprus Tourist Guides Association, the Department of Antiquities, IMH, and the Deputy Ministry of Tourism.
