Virtual Reality Dazzles Harvard University
This will be discussed and demonstrated at the i-lab in the coming weeks with Rony Abovitz, CEO of Magic Leap Inc., as the keynote speaker.
Abovitz was responsible for developing the "Mixed Reality Lightfield," a technology that combines augmented and virtual reality. According to Abovitz, it will help those who are struggling to "transfer two-dimensional information or text into "spatial learning."
Aside from Abovitz, Javender Jagadeesan and Chris Dede also gave their presentation on the use of virtual reality in different fields. Jagadeesan, an assistant professor at the Harvard Medical School, talked about using augmented reality to determine the exact location of a tumor. Dede, who is from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, discussed the impact of augmented and virtual reality-based tools in teaching young learners.
