A. Presentation of the CREB 1. Who We Are Aim: covering the R&D demand in the fields of Biomedical Engineering. Staff: 80 professionals (42 doctors + 38 Graduate Researchers) Team of highly qualified researchers with more than thirty years of proven professional experience. >Divisions • Biomaterials and Biomechanics • Biomedical Signals and Systems • Robotics and Vision • Instrumentation and Bioengineering • Dosimetry and Ionizing Radiations • Graphics Computing AAL JP Call 6 Central InfoDay – Brussels, 6 February 2013
2. Project Idea • The fear of novelty, of not being able to adapt to new workplaces and new procedures often discourages older people to engage into new professional and volontary activities. Serious games in 3D virtual environments that reproduce their workplace could help them to familiarize with the environment, virtually train the work procedures, and detect eventual difficulties, before getting engaged in a new activity. Old persons would have a more objective perception on their capacities, feel more secure and optimistic. • The goal of the project is to design a software platform for the fast creation of serious professional training games composed of: • a generic model of 3D serious game allowing the creation of instances for each workplace and task • a rapid prototyping method for the creation of 3D virtual work places • an interactive tool for the specification of tasks AAL JP Call 6 Central InfoDay – Brussels, 6 february 2013
3. Expertise & Partners • We have expertise in: • Application for the Biomedical Field of Graphical Computing. • Modelling, Development, Reconstruction and Visualisation of Medical details. • Surgery Planning. • Computer Aided Surgery. • Serious Games. • Medical expertise (physiotherapists, health prevention). • We are looking for partners: • Industrial partners (serious games companies, global technology companies,…) • Associations working with old mature people. • Public Administration (municipalities, employment service agencies, national governments,…) • Medical expertise (physiotherapists, health prevention). *Contact Centre de Recerca en Enginyeria Biomèdica (CREB) Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya T: 34 93 401.69.74 / F: 34 93 401.70.45 manel.gonzalez@upc.edu / j.perez@upc.edu www.creb.upc.es AAL JP Call 6 Central InfoDay – Brussels, 6 February 2013
