Iva Vasic
Iva Vasic is a visiting PhD Student in the Digitalization and Information Systems Research Group and the Smart Living Lab, Department of Informatics, University of Fribourg, Switzerland. She is pursuing her PhD studies in the DHEKALOS lab at the Polytechnic University of Marche in Italy. She received her MS in architecture from the University of Nis, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture in Serbia.
She is the author of several articles related to the VR application on complex images from Computer Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, shape similarity analysis of complex three-dimensional models, and user behavior tracking in virtual museums. She received the Salento AVR 2021 Best Paper Award for her paper titled "A New Technique of the Virtual Reality Visualization of Complex Volume Images from the Computer Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging". One of her research focuses is dedicated to investigating user behavior in virtual cultural heritage environments in order to enhance the user experience and provide digital curators with a valuable tool for evaluating and comparing the significance of the artworks. Her main research interests include 3D geometry analysis, 3D modeling and visualization, cultural heritage digitization, neural networks in 3D shape classification, user behavior analysis in virtual environments, augmented and virtual reality.
Her research topics within the Digitalization and Information Systems Research Group include metamodeling and knowledge-assisted AR, elaboration of the objectives of 3D scanning for the documentation of construction work, and documenting the construction progress using 360 / stereoscopic images.
