Turku FIT Competence Center
Our FIT CC presentation video (in Finnish)
FIT Turku is a joint competence center of companies, research institutes and the public sector. This research environment enables VR, AR, and AI research and development with companies or around our own projects. We have the latest technology and know-how available in the field, as well as strong competitiveness. We cooperate with both large and small companies, and can offer small student projects or thesis work to large research and development projects and service activities.

Research & Innovation
Our visionary research group has experienced organic growth since its establishment, driven by a robust portfolio of multidisciplinary research, development, and innovation projects. We adapt to the evolving landscape of this dynamic field. Our journey has taken us from traditional gaming to areas such as exergaming and serious games, and further into the realms of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Today, we proudly stand at the forefront, pioneering the development of our very own metaverse technology specifically designed for multiuser industrial training applications. And that is only part of all.

Publications
Not everybody likes writing scientific papers, that we know, but we also understand the role of publishing science in fostering innovation. We are scientists, and we love to contribute to collective knowledge exchanging ideas, driving progress in our field, influencing, and shaping future research. As a group and together with other research groups and partners, we got published over the last years tens of papers. We have some PhDs in the group, and more should come bit by bit. We are not bad either with patenting our innovations, and we are proud of those patents with our team members figuring as inventors.
