New Virtual, Augmented Reality Lab to Prepare Students for Technology Jobs
The University of Central Florida’s new virtual- and augmented-reality lab that will open Tuesday is designed to give hands-on experience for students to better prepare them for high-tech jobs in the field.
The Interactive Computing Experiences Virtual Reality Lab, located in the Barbara Ying Center on UCF’s main campus, provides the space and the same cutting-edge technology used in industry so that anyone at UCF can develop projects using virtual and augmented reality, and at the same time contribute to advancing the technology forward.
Orlando recently ranked as the ninth-best city beyond Silicon Valley for getting software jobs, according to Glassdoor’s 2017 study of high-tech job growth.
Equipped with five virtual-reality stations and one augmented-reality station, the lab will be open around the clock to allow students and their team members to work on their projects.
