NEW VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY HUB ANNOUNCED BY DEAKIN UNIVERSITY
THE VR AND AR TECHNOLOGY SPOT WILL BE LAUNCHED TO LET STAFF, STUDENTS AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS USE THE TECH.
Australia’s Deakin University has now announced its intentions to launch what will be an Interactive Digital Centre Hub, located in Melbourne, which will focus on virtual and augmented reality technologies.
THE HUB IS EXPECTED TO OPEN AT SOME POINT IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2016, THOUGH A SPECIFIC DATE HASN’T BEEN RELEASED.
The idea behind this hub is to provide a place where industry partners, students and staff members can come together and get their hands on some of the very latest in virtual and augmented reality technology. The hub is being opened in partnership with EON Reality. In total, more than $10 million (USD) has been invested into the creation of this new facility. Once it is up and running it will be the very first center that is dedicated exclusively to VR and AR tech within the greater Asian region.
