Modern mobile phones are power houses of Visual Computing. For visual output, they provide a high-quality color display, and some models have dedicated hardware for 2D and 3D computer graphics. For visual input they have good digital cameras, both still and video. And they provide a fast CPU, some models even an FPU, as well as C++, Python, and Java programming environments. The Visual Computing and User Interfaces (VCUI) team studies how these visual capabilities can be harnessed for exciting applications.
