RESEARCH

Omega Technology has more than 30 years of experience in the IT sector in Greece, having contacted research in several state of the art technologies in the framework of National and European R&D projects. The company's R&D department has from 2005 is involved in the development of large scale projects utilizing Grid technologies, assisted living solutions, virtual reality applications, natural language proccesing tools and augmented reality services. Since 2002, the company has also allocated a number of man months conducting research work in the digitization, anotation and content management for museum collections. As result, the company bid succesfully and implemented a number of projects for the digitization and preservation of content.

The Company's R&D department is currently developing authoring tools for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality applications in the fields of education and cultural heritage.
