Vlada Kugurakova | Digital Media Lab head

Vlada Kugurakova


Head of Laboratory

Interested in: Relations between virtual world, simulators and virtual games, development of new instruments for creation simulations training centers and new approaches to interface using in virtual reality, active involvement in design of simulation systems for all new devices such as virtual reality headset, motion capture systems, optical and IR distance sensors, precise positioning devices and force-feedback systems for high quality immersion in virtual world.

Area of practical use: VR\AR in education, virtual surgery, rehabilitation complex for patients with neurological disorders (post-stroke, cerebral palsy), simulation training grounds for emergencies, cultural and historical reconstructions, modernization of museums with virtual and augmented reality, training platforms with dynamic suspension, innovative visualization techniques for efficient work with structured and unstructured big data.

In addition, Vlada pays attention to the questions of availability of creating dynamic simulation of growing brain in game and physics engines working in cloud and questions of creating numerical model of morphology of hippocampus neuronal web to researching it bioelectrical activity.
