Studying mineral textures and their chemical and isotopic compositions will allow characterization […]

To make mining more efficient and environmentally friendly, transportation of rock should be minimized. Ideally we would only transport those rocks that contain economically extractable amounts of minerals. MineSense has developed sensors that can detect the level of minerals in rocks and, in particular, can detect very low levels with high accuracy. This proposal is […]

This project involves the development and implementation of a visualization, analysis and exploration prototype for a parametric CAD tool. The prototype focuses on the design process; that is, the collection of actions taken by designers as they develop solutions. The visualization will allow designers to analyze, understand and make better decisions based on single actions […]

Ensuring efficient and effective disease testing during a pandemic requires the integration and automation of complex, versatile assessment, scheduling, and planning tools. Project ABC, funded by Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster, will deploy technologies that enable the BC health system to deliver a high volume of COVID-19 tests to the patients who most urgently need them, […]

Ultimately, the goal of this project is to develop an innovative mobile training platform that provides residents and surgeons-in-training introductory exposure to laparoscopy (MIS – minimally-invasive surgery) with improved interactive endoscopic media and Augmented Reality capabilities, than existing mobile applications.
