Research scholaship/grant for software engineering of 3D animation

If you want to work on my research team, please apply to this recent grant/scholarship opportunity, until July 25th, 2018:


This is the follow-up to a previous grant, and we aim to pursue its outcomes. The major goal is to enable behaviours and actions in serious games and simulations to outlast the technology rendering them!
 
Your goal will be to program a proof-of-concept: show that using our methods we can play the same choreography of characters in both a virtual reality game and an augmented reality scenario: one choreography, multiple replay platforms. The virtual reality game can be an existing one or something created from scratch (we're open to ideas, since this is a proof-of-concept) and for augmented reality we are in the process of acquiring a Meta2 headset.
 
Use of games in training & education is being limited due to the loss of materials and know-how as newer technology requires abandoning all previous content... it's simply too much investment for small and medium companies, for non-profits, even for many educational organizations.
We are working to change that!
This slideshow present our view on the research goals:

The workplace is in Coimbra's offices of Universidade Aberta, and my research group is within INESC TEC, the largest research unit on this field in Portugal.

You'll work in close online cooperation with other researchers, in the scope of the CHIC media industries project (axis A), as well as researchers developing this technology for other projects.

Here are some papers on the technology behind this, which we are pursuing further:
