Attention ECE majors! Looking for something to spice up your spring? How about earning a credit or two as part of a transdisciplinary research team building VR and augmented reality devices?
Dr. Peter Mullner (Materials Science) and Dr. John Bieter (History) are leading the VAR Scent project. The purpose of their vertically integrated project is to create a virtual and/or augmented reality device that incorporates smell and microfluidics technology and then to explore how such a device could be used as an educational tool. They’re looking for ECE students interested in circuits who can help them build a control unit for a virtual and/or augmented reality device.
