CAVE Virtual Reality

TELL lab is part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) grant — MRI: Acquisition of a Virtual Reality System for Expert Decision Making and Immersive Learning (NSF # 2018850). This immersive virtual reality (VR) system with a synchronized motion tracking system will enable foundational and applied research studies across multiple disciplines to gain a better understanding of decision making under complex situations involving human-machine interactions and learning in three-dimensional virtual reality datasets. The research activities envisioned will span a broad set of areas such as: computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning, transportation systems, built environment prototyping, public safety during disaster response, computational biology and bioinformatics. The project outcomes will create new knowledge pertaining to immersive application development, training, and personalized learning to benefit end-user groups such as police, fire fighters, civil engineers, public works personnel, transportation engineers, and educators.

We are working with collaborators from the School of Engineering and the College of Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources to build up CAVE VR-based course modules for collaborative learning on the topic of atmospheric science.
