Introducing AMETIST...

AMETIST is a new research group of the computer science dept. at the University of Houston-Victoria (UHV). The name is actually an acronym summarizing all that we are targeting at as research interests: animations, modeling, entertainment, tangible interfaces, simulations and technology in general. Therefore A.M.E.TI.S.T.

Professor Rogerio Eduardo da Silva is taking the lead of the group and plans to have many students (and even other faculties) involved in studying and developing possible applications of technologies used to produce games for many other fields of knowledge like virtual/augmented reality, robotics, motion capture, computer vision and tracking, gesture/posture/voice/face recognition, 3D modeling and printing, interactive digital storytelling, artificial intelligence, programming, and so much more!

If you are a student at UHV of any major (CS, DGS, Biology, Creative Writing, Communications, Education, Health care, ...) at any level (from Freshman to Senior or even Master) and is interested in visiting us to learn about what we are planning to do and even want to take part as a volunteer, just contact us and come by my office (room UW254) or our lab. (UW 224).

I'm sure we can find some activity/project for you!

Dr. Rogerio da Silva
Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Gaming
