Laboratories

• Immersive Visualization Studio: A 50 megapixel screen consisting of 24 46" high-definition monitors. The space also provides a profession full-body tracking system from Vicon. A head-mounted display will soon be added to this lab. This laboratory is supported by the National Science Foundation (grant# CNS-1229297).

• Virtual Environment Lab: This lab consists of a WorldViz PPT tracking system, two data gloves, an NVIS nVisor ST head-mounted display (capable of see-through and non-see-through modes), an Xbox Kinect, and other equipment to support virtual reality research.

• Husky Game Development Lab: - A Windows computer lab available for use by any student enrolled in Husky Game Development. The lab provides access to Photoshop, a Wacom tablet, audio recorders, and other resources which support video game development for Xbox, Android phones, desktop computers, and the display in the Immersive Visualization Studio. For more detailed information about Husky Game Development, see our recent ASEE 2014 publication.
