INSYGHTLab

The INSYGHT Lab of the TU Delft is a highly visible facility that hosts experimental installations for multi-modal perception and generation. The lab is equipped with multi-camera capture systems, advanced robots, a robotic arm, audio synthesis, a sound-attenuated booth, and XR equipment. This showcase lab facility is focused on interdisciplinary research on computer vision, interactive intelligence and visualization.

Computer vision

The INSYGHTLab hosts multi-camera acquisition equipment for 3D scene reconstruction. These capabilities research in reconstruction, analysis and editing of 3D scenes for virtual interactive environments required for future entertainment, educational and research applications utilizing immersive display technologies including virtual and augmented reality displays and free-viewing 3D lightfield or holographic displays. The capability to track humans, objects and their interactions allow to study of human behavior for its reproduction in virtual environments or robotic applications.

Intelligence

The INSYGHTLab offers humanoid robots essential for the advancement of interactive robotics. In our lab we work to create robot companions for children with chronic illnesses and for the elderly to enhance quality of life and self-reliance.

Interaction

The INSYGHTLab offers all facilities for the development of virtual reality now as well connected to the Social XR lab from the DIS group at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), allowing remote collaboration between scientists and students between the two institutions.

The INSYGHTLab also marks the start of a competing and collaborating Interaction and Vision facility for other, similar-minded labs, around the TU Delft and within the Netherlands. By having combined the diverse set-ups and sharing the same physical equipment, the (young) researchers learn from each other’s discipline and expertise.
