News & Events

Tuesday, students from Professor Zhen Bai’s CSC 216/416: AR/VR Interaction Design course shared their visions of future reality with the UR community in Studio X at the Carlson Library. This is a highly rewarding event that allows students to showcase their AR/VR systems, practice public speaking skills to a large audience, and celebrate their hard work as a team. It's also a fun event to raise awareness of AR/VR technologies for members of the UR community, and foster interesting conversation that may lead to future impact beyond the course. There was a wonderful turnout, and the students were eager to share their work. Projects ranged from addressing communication challenges to providing more accessible virtual spaces for creative designs that can be translated into real world products/spaces.  Professor Bai and her class want to give a big shout-out to Meaghan Moody - the Immersive Technologies Librarian at Studio X and her XR specialist team (Aleem Griffiths, Liam O’Leary, Muhammed El-Sayed, Haochen Zeng) for their kind support throughout the term!
