UB faculty: Interested in learning about the newest technology in virtual teaching and research? UB Information Technology is hosting an LED Immersive Open House for faculty on Tuesday, June 6th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Level Up (Lockwood 2 North).
During the open house, faculty will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on demonstration of Mechdyne’s immersive virtual teaching and research laboratory using a 65-inch screen and VR headsets. 3D virtual reality content will feature experiences from the International Space Station, an operating room, flying a drone, and content from UB Indigenous Studies and Archaeology.
UB is considering development of an immersive virtual teaching and research laboratory on our campus, and faculty will have the chance to provide feedback on the direction the university should take in this exciting area.
Mechdyne’s immersive virtual teaching and research laboratory can be used for engineering, design, collaboration, research, construction, healthcare, eSports, virtual video production, manufacturing and real time revision. The technology, known as “Flip Chip LED,” can be configured to any size, arrangement, curve or pattern that a design requires.
