[Mar 3th, 2023] Our research institute (I3A, Instituto Universitario de Investigación en Ingeniería de Aragón) has started a new initiative in which they interview our researchers. Our group lead, Diego Gutierrez, has been the very first on being interviewed. You can find it complete here (Spanish), but we leave here some of his responses. Diego has been always fully involved in disseminating his research, and in transmitting his passion about what he does. What is the thing you enjoy the most about what you do? What I like the most is to constantly learn things. What would you say to anyone thinking about going into research? I would encourage him to do so, and try to paint as realistic a picture as possible. It's not all negative, it's not all positive. [...] with patience and hard work you can get there.

[Feb 27th, 2023] Our colleague Sandra Malpica has succesfully defended her thesis! She has received a Sobresaliente Cum Laude, the maximum grade in our University. Supervised by Belen masia and Diego Gutierrez, Sandra has been part of the group for almost nince years, and she has also developed here her BSc and MSc theses. Her thesis, coined Visual and multimodal perception in immersive environments , has been focused un understanding human perception in multimodal environments, both from a visual and a multimodal perspective (i.e., integrating different modalities such as vision, audio, or proprioception). She has done an excellent job in research, teaching, and dissemination. Congrats! In the pictures below you can see Sandra defending the thesis to the jury (Mar Gonzalez-Franco, Nuria Pelechano, and Ana Serrano). After the tough, yet fun defense, they all got to celebrate it having lunch!

[Feb 16th, 2023] Our colleague Julia Guerrero-Viu has participated in a talk about the perspective of women in research. This activity is part of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Julia has discussed about many critical issues of research nowadays, including compensations, temporary contracts, mobility, or academic pressure. These issues are even more notorious in the case of women, who right now are underrepresented in our field. Julia is very active in activities of gender perspective. Thanks Julia!

[Feb 9th and Feb 10th, 2023] Our colleagues Julia Guerrero-Viu and Edurne Bernal-Berdun have participated in the initiative 11F International Day of Women and Girls in Science. They both visited some high schools in Zaragoza to motivate young students about science and research. They were very excited with the cool applications of our research and asked a lot of questions!

[Sep 30th, 2022] We - many PhD students - have participated in this year's edition of the European Researchers Night. This evening, we showed lots of people the different lines of research that we have in our lab, and let them try some short, yet fun demos of some virtual and augmented experiences. Many children tried them for hours, but their parents seemed to be enjoying the activity as much.

[July 6th and 7th, 2022] We have attended this year's CEIG (Conferencia Española de Informática Gráfica) conference, which was held in Vic, Spain. We had the opportunity to present some interesting works! Our recently enrolled PhD students Diego Royo (top left image) and Edurne Bernal (top right image) presented their works, both recently accepted to Computers and Graphics. Our colleague Daniel Martin also presented a conference-track paper and an already accepted work (bottom left image), and we also had the great opportunity of attending a super interesting talk from our former PostDoc, Marta Ortin (bottom right image). Our lab's head, Diego Gutierrez, also attended the conference, as well as our colleague Ana Serrano, who was indeed program chair, and who undoubtedly made a huge effort on organizing such a wonderful conference.

[June 16th, 2022] We have participated in this year's "Jornada de Jóvenes Investigadores del I3A", which took place at our university. This event is a meeting point to publicize the work carried out by those who are doing their doctoral theses at the I3A. In this year's edition, our colleagues Edurne Bernal (left) and Diego Royo (right) presented their works on saliency prediction and transient rendering with an oral presentation and a poster, respectively. They did such a great job!

[May 6th, 2022] We had some high school students from Ainsa (Huesca) visiting our university. We welcomed them in the Graphics and Imaging Lab, and told them about our different lines of research. We showed them some of our amazing works and applications, and they seemed very interested. Finally, they had the opportunity to try one of our Virtual Reality devices - and yes, they loved it!. In these pictures you can see them trying some fun VR games. Thanks to our colleagues Julia Guerrero-Viu and Sandra Malpica for such great work!

[April 25th, 2022] We have participated in this year's edition of "Una ingeniera en cada cole" ("A female engineer in every school") activity. Within this activity, we went to Primary schools in Zaragoza and told young kids about what it means to be an ingeneer, and what we do in our daily work. We also told them about important women in the history of engineering and computer science, to further foster their interest. We finally did a small, yet super fun workshop on augmented reality (AR) with them. In these pictures you can see our colleague Julia Guerrero-Viu having lot of fun with the youngsters!

[April 6th, 2022] We have participated in this year's edition of the Girls' Day. This dissemination event aims to show youngsters all the work that girls and women do every day in all kind of disciplines. We have received various groups of high school students, we have presented them the lines of work that we do in the group, and we have let the students try fun applications and games of virtual reality with us. We hope they have enjoyed this time and understood that reaserch is a place for everyone! Special thanks to our volunteer colleagues Sandra Malpica, Julia Guerrero-Viu, Edurne Bernal, Raquel Navarro, and Diego Royo for their time and effort to make this day such a wonderful experience!

[March 4th, 2022] We have participated in this year's edition of the NeoCom Talks. This dissemination event is organized by the AATUZ (the Association of Telecommunication Engineers of Universidad de Zaragoza), and is devoted to show undergraduate students different disciplines and career opportunities after they graduate. This time, our colleagues Sandra Malpica and Daniel Martin gave a presentation on the exciting topics we are working on the field of Virtual Reality.

[September 22nd, 2021] We have attended this year's CEIG (Conferencia Española de Informática Gráfica) conference, which was held within the CEDI (Conferencia Española de Informática) conference in Málaga, Spain. We had the opportunity to present a couple of already published works, to meet many researchers both from Spain and from international institutions, and see the interesting lines of work of many groups and laboratories. Oh, we have also attended wonderful keynotes (with top speakers such as Marcos Fajardo), and briefly (yet excitingly) visited the city! Here you can see how our colleagues Sandra Malpica and Daniel Martin presented their work, and a cool frame of both of them and our lab's head, Diego Gutierrez, together with Marcos Fajardo.

[March 2th, 2021] We have participated in this year's edition of the NeoCom Talks. This dissemination event is organized by the AATUZ (the Association of Telecommunication Engineers of Universidad de Zaragoza), and is devoted to show undergraduate students different disciplines and career options for when they graduate.
