In this research, students engage with VR technology to experience and physically measure scientific objects in a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE). By scaling up or down, learners can &#8220;grow&#8221; or &#8220;shrink&#8221; and explore different powers of ten (10x). For example, a student can shrink from the size of an asteroid to the size of a virus.

For instance, you can travel to ancient civilizations or visit fictional lands. Conversely, Mixed Reality (MR) blends the real world with computer-generated elements, creating a more interactive experience. Augmented Reality (AR) is a form of MR that adds extra layers of information to the physical world around you. This allows for deeper understanding and richer interaction with real-world objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our lab is equipped with cutting-edge tools, such as the four-sided Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE), full-body tracking systems, head-mounted displays (HMDs), and head-up displays (HUDs). Additionally, motion tracking devices help improve the user experience in these virtual environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We are particularly interested in exploring how humans interact with VR and AR technologies. Specifically, we want to understand how these experiences differ from the real world, both in terms of user perception and behavior. Furthermore, we are investigating the potential applications of VR and AR in solving real-world problems and enhancing various industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning more, we invite you to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/projects\/\">Projects<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/directory\/\">People<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/outreach\/\">Outreach<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/publications\/\">Publications<\/a> to discover how VR and AR are transforming education and other fields.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/12\/BK-5020640-1200x800.webp\" alt=\"Students in the Virtual Reality CAVE\" class=\"wp-image-676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/12\/BK-5020640-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/12\/BK-5020640-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/12\/BK-5020640-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/12\/BK-5020640-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/ise.ncsu.edu\/vr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/12\/BK-5020640-2048x1365.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-gray-10-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:84%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the VR Team on The CW22<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Karen Chen and her research team (Tyler Rose, Rebecca Ellis, and Ken Chen) talk with The CW22\u2019s Bill LuMaye about their virtual and augmented reality research and the VR\/AR Lab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Community Matters 106 Virtual Reality Segment 1\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mx65OHQYQHg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
