Target areas

The research activities and projects of the Alexandra Institute are concentrated within the following target areas:

Advanced Visualisation & Interaction

The Centre for Advanced Visualisation and Interaction provides the business community, researchers, artists and students with access to advanced 3D and interaction equipment and also one of the most advanced virtual TV studios in Denmark. Many of the activities are focused on development, visualisation and interaction of and with 3D models and the possibilities this gives within for example product development, architechture, education and health.

Business understanding

Business understanding for pervasive computing was established in November 2007 as a new target area for the Alexandra Institute.
Business understanding focuses on knowledge about such things as innovation management, commercial modelling and effect measurement, which can root down technological innovation
and provide the optimal framework for a successful innovation process.

Interactive spaces

Interactive Spaces is an interdisciplinary research centre bringing together architecture, engineering and computer science with the research mission to create new concepts for future interactive spaces. The research activities focus on six themes which may be applicable to one or more of the application domain projects undertaken in the centre. The application domains to be studied include schools, libraries, museums, homes and specific workplaces.

IT security

In collaboration with the corporate sector and research environments the Alexandra Institute has established the Centre for IT security – the first centre of its kind in Denmark.
In recent years IT security has attracted increased attention, both in the corporate sector and the general public. Not least because of the considerable increase in virus and hacker attacks which have led to heavy losses in both economy and efficiency in many workplaces. But IT security is more than problems with virus attacks and hackers. For instance backup, problems with telecommunication, current, e-mail and Internet, software errors and hardware crashes.
The Centre for IT security focuses on this broad range of security problems.

New Ways of Working

Mobile employees, working via the Internet and collaboration in new virtual information spaces are part of the future knowledge based jobs. The Centre for New Ways of Working deals with the human, organisational and technical aspects of the new ways of working and organisational forms.
