Fondazione Graphitech

Fondazione Graphitech - Centre for Advanced Computer Graphics Technologies is a no-profit applied research centre which conducts research and development activities in the broad technology area of advanced computer graphics, mixed reality and large scale visualization system for geographical data. Graphitech has been contributing towards the transfer of knowledge between the research sector and the industry. Specifically its competences cover the following domains:

Augmented engineering (virtual and augmented reality, cooperative virtual environments, 3D visualisation and interaction).
Interactive systems (visual programming, multi-modal dialogues).
3D GIS and networked system for management and streaming of geospatial data.

Fondazione Graphitech has been involved in several RTD and industrial projects both at the EU and at the national level focusing on intelligent multimodal interfaces, interactions with collaborative augmented reality environments, large scale visualization system for geographical data, web-service-based architecture to manage, distribute, navigate and interact with geospatial data.

Project Focus

Project A22

The project is bringing to the development of a networked infrastructure capable to make a wide range of geo information available to the operators of a major Italian motorway. In doing so, the system is supporting a number of open standards from ISO and OGC. Unlike current SDIs which address relatively static data in time slices, similarly to traditional GIS, the system developed allows to manage true dynamic data available, through geo-referenced sensors along the motorway. Linking existing systems and networks to achieve a comprehensive, coordinated and sustained infrastructure capable to improve management of the motorway system is the main objective of the project. The networked platform being developed has extended the traditional concept of SDIs with an unprecedented volume of real-time geo-referenced sensor data, along the road with high spatial and temporal resolution.
