eXtended Reality (XR) Lab, Digital Future, University of Cincinnati

Virtual Reality, Augmented reality, and Mixed Reality.

eXtended Reality Lab (XR-Lab) explores how people engage with simulated scenarios through Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality and promotes communication and collaboration through XR for education, health care, and professional training.

What: The XR lab brings designers, artists, engineers, scientists to develop XR experience to simulate DICE (dangerous, impossible, counterproductive, and expensive) scenarios.

Goal: Transform living and working space by inhabiting digital spaces; Develop metrics for human performance evaluation in XR

How: Through real-time visualization, animation, digital characters, and serious games.

Projects: The past projects include using XR for creating empathy and cognitive embodiment, architecture, engineering, and construction visualization, police training, Egress, driving simulation, healthcare and mental health training, digital twin, biometric data collection through eye-tracking, human behavior simulation, and large-scale reality capture.
