Facilities for the Academy, Students and Companies

CIVIT is a valuable tool in the realization of many research projects in the area of ultra-realistic 3D scene capture and advanced visualisation as it allows access to an unprecedented level of high quality, state-of-the-art equipment in an economically efficient way.
We have various state-of-the-art cameras, advanced displays, motion capture equipment and studio, range sensors and LIDARs, VR/AR and other immersive gear. Companies, students, staff and researchers can utilize our equipment and CIVIT lab in Sähkötalo.
