Project Outcomes
SUNY Immersive Augmented Reality Classroom

- Immersive Environment (Virtual Reality)
The SUNY Immersive Augmented Reality Classroom is an innovative approach to utilizing virtual and augmented reality technology to enhance the pedagogical experience in multiple disciplines and achieve learning objectives taught throughout SUNY.
This project utilizes affordable technology to provide a shared mixed reality classroom to individuals, regardless of major, both on campus and in remote locations. While the core system utilizes mixed reality hardware, our system also allows users to access the virtual space via non-mixed-reality hardware, making it more affordable for a greater number of users. This tool provides learners with enhanced, more engaging ways to learn material. Specifically, it brings more visual and tactile interaction to virtual content, enabling greater engagement to a wider variety of learners. We hope, as a whole, that the technology helps increase retention of those students who had difficulty previously connecting with the subject matter. By exposing students to mixed reality technology as part of their core curriculum, it can inspire both the creation of more advanced content for this platform and/or the further development of the underlying technology.
