Narcís Parés has an Engineering Degree in Computer Science (UPC), a Master in Computer Graphics and Artificial Intelligence (UAB) and a PhD in Audio-visual Communication specialised in Virtual Reality (UPF). He is a researcher in the group for Experimentation on Interactive Communication of the Audiovisual Institute at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. His research is centred on the properties of interactive communication with realtime generated stimuli for full body action, from an interdisciplinary approach that is placed between technology and communication, based on user experience, including augmented, mixed and virtual reality and tangible interfaces. He is currently full time assistant professor of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies of the UPF, coordinator of the official master program Interdisciplinary Master in Cognitive Systems and Interactive Media, and teacher at the Master in Digital Arts of the IUA. He is also secretary of the Audiovisual Institute. He is cofounder and scientific director of Galeria Virtual since 1993, where he has directed the technological aspects of several experimental virtual reality productions applied to contemporary art. Some projects to be highlighted are: MEDIATE funded by the IST of the European Commission, Water Games for the Forum of Cultures, Barcelona 2004, and more recently a workshop and an interactive experience for the CosmoCaixa from Fundació "la Caixa".
