Sample Research Impacts to Industry

Some of the research results have also been deployed in industry spanning from large companies to high-tech startups. For example:
  • Research results in the SafeVChat project (http://www.safevchat.org/), including the algorithms and/or system developments, jointly carried out with collaborators from the University of Colorado-Boulder have been deployed or used by several high-tech companies, including the world’s largest web-based P2P video chatting company –Chatroulette (www.chatroulette.com)
