My Project

Imagine a pendulum swinging. Easy, right? Now imagine a graph linked to the pendulum showing the mathematical curve representing its displacement from equilibrium in real time. Not so easy? Some things are difficult to visualize unless you already know and understand them. This can be a problem in education, especially in subjects like computer graphics, where dynamism and movement are important. For these, a simple blackboard, a whiteboard or a static medium, isn’t always sufficient. Our Future Reality Lab has set out to tackle the problem using emerging technologies like virtual reality.

We need Oculus Quest 2.
