Virtual Reality Open House 2.0

Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are reaching to their maturity levels. Increasingly more institutions are leveraging these technologies in their daily operations particularly for education, training. VR is transforming education and training through its ability by enabling users to engage with complex subjects through interactive 3D visualization. VR is used for design and development of processes, products, and functions in low cost and low risk environments. Use of VR is being expanded in the healthcare and rehabilitation services. VR is also changing the gaming and entertainment industry for better health outcomes by enabling more physical and mental activities for the users. This VR Open House aims to create an environment where students, researchers and the public can openly experience, explore, and discuss VR technology and its applications can contribute to VR capacity building.
