Group exhibition organized by the Rational Energy Architects (@R.E.Ar_)
AI in+form stands at the convergence of 3 core ideas: Artificial Intelligence, bio-inspired design, decentralised solar economy. It speculates on the future of light-harvesting to build the capacities of individuals to generate electricity locally.
Big thanks to all faculties and students involved in helping the Digital Futures Building grand opening!
XR-Lab presented research projects on the Grand Opening day on 09/23 to hundreds of guests, along with more than 20 Labs at UC Digital Futures Building. We are very proud to be a member of this striving research community. We look forward the collaboration with industry, government, and community partners and making an effort to solve real-world problems.
using extended reality to solve real-world problems.
News on the Grand Openings of Digital Futures Building:
The University of Cincinnati is classified as a Research 1 institution by the Carnegie Commission and is ranked in the National Science Foundation’s Top-35 public research universities. UC’s medical, graduate and undergraduate students and faculty investigate problems and innovate solutions with real-world impact. Next Lives Here.

It is my great pleasure to join the leadership team of the Institute for Research in Sensing (IRiS) at UC.
The Institute for Research in Sensing (IRiS) is an interdisciplinary research institute focused on novel routes to innovation in sensing research and sensor technology development through purposeful integration of STEM and non-STEM perspectives, including basic and applied research, medicine, engineering, the humanities, social sciences, and fine and performing arts. At IRiS, we seek not only to expand what is possible but also to ask what is good for human thriving and the health of our planet. Our mission is one of connection, integration, and holism as we pursue breakthroughs in sensing research at the University of Cincinnati and beyond.
Virtual Reality for Employee Safety Training. Phase I. Sponsored research by the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. PI. Ming Tang. $16,631. Period: 6.2022- 09.2022.
Virtual Reality for Employee Safety Training.Therapeutic Crisis Intervention Simulation-Phase II. Sponsored research by the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. PI. Tang. $22,365. Period: 2.2023- 12.2023.
Under the leadership of Ming Tang, the XR-Lab is collaborating with the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) to develop a VR-based simulation to enhance employee safety training. This initiative involves creating a virtual hospital environment with AI-controlled characters to facilitate research on diverse scenarios encountered during therapeutic crisis interventions. A vital feature of this simulation is the VR dialogue between a staff member and a teenage patient exhibiting aggressive behavior and mental illness. The primary objective is to equip staff members with the necessary skills to de-escalate tense situations effectively and adhere to appropriate protocols, thereby ensuring a safer and more controlled environment for staff and patients.
