Jozef Stefan Institute - Slovenia
Jozef Stefan Institute (www.ijs.si), in particular the Department of Communication Systems has experience in developing communication hardware and firmware also in connection with the measurements of bio-signals. We also have close scientific cooperation with Slovenian biggest hospital Clinical Centre (departments for cardiology, traumatology and neurology) and with small innovative enterprises in Technological park of Ljubljana.
Members of our research group have practical experience in measuring signals in the area of ECG (standard, differential and multi-channel), blood pressure and respiration. We have worked, together with medical doctors from Clinical Centre Ljubljana, in the areas of data compression and security, optimal ECG electrode selection, generation of the standard ECG, medical computer simulations, etc. We could cooperate in developing the on-line monitoring system of vital human biosignals while still maintaining maximal mobility of the monitored person. We have also knowledge and know how in the area of all kinds of wireless communication (GPRS, 3G devices/cell phones, wireless Internet etc.)

VRVis Resarch Center - Austria
Virtual Reality (VR) and Visualization (Vis) are key-technologies for communication. They enable not only the fast, meaningful and concise processing of data in a time of growing amounts of data, but also the realistic display of and the interaction with past, current and future objects and surroundings.
VRVis is one of Austria’s leading research and development companies in the area of Virtual Reality and Visualization and a substantial part of Europe’s second largest computer graphics research group (which is located in Vienna!). In the above mentioned fields VRVis is offering contract-research, consulting and development of products. The research work of VRVis encompasses basic as well as applied research and enables thus a successful connection between the academic and the economic world.
Founded in 2000, VRVis is an example for the successful Kplus initiative by the federal government and the City of Vienna. Nowadays the VRVis GmbH (Ltd.) has next to the headquarter in Vienna (TechGate) a branch in Graz. Currently approx. 50 highly qualified researchers, 15 to 20 students (diploma thesis or internships) and six administrative employees are working at VRVis.
Due to its motivated and international renowned employees VRVis has achieved a leading position in the following key-competence areas:
• software development in the field of "3D computer graphics"
• transformation of scientific research results into solutions for the entrepreneurial use within given time- and cost constraints
• consulting over the use and adaptation of new technologies within companies as well as the acquisition of funding for r&d
• active know-how transfer through the "heads" of VRVis-researchers who become employees at clients
• established within the international "Graphics Community" and cost- efficient use of the resources from partnership university-institutes
