ISU XR Lab

CARE Labs is an innovative research group at Istinye University in Istanbul, Türkiye. Our lab has a history of VR projects, including VR-based Wind Simulation with Wearables, Virtual City Environments for Psychology Studies, Virtual Surgery Planning Platforms for Hemodynamics Simulations, Haptic Hands Interactions, and Robotics. Led by Dr. Şenol Pişkin, the lab's team of experts encompasses VR developers and designers, computer scientists, mechanical engineers, and healthcare technology professionals.

Lab equipment includes powerful workstations, virtual reality headsets, 3D printers, a 3D mouse, and a haptic robotic arm. In our laboratory, applications such as medical image processing, 3D anatomy creation, medical device design, cardiovascular surgery planning, and stent design are studied. Visualization of data with big data, physics-based virtual/augmented reality applications, and human-computer and human-robot interactions are also areas of interest in our laboratory.
