The Division of Digital Learning’s Faculty Multimedia Center (FMC) and Pegasus Innovation Lab (iLab) will be hosting events in partnership with departments and colleges around UCF. The AVID events aim to promote the growth of a vibrant community of professionals within the VR and AR space. AVID will offer a platform for the sharing of real-world use cases and research through interactive tech demonstrations and presentations.
AVID is returning on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. We are partnering with the UCF School of Modeling, Simulation and Training (IST). During this face-to-face event, we will be exploring how IST is championing virtual and augmented reality research through their various partnerships, labs, and faculty research initiatives. As a participant, you are invited to join us for exhilarating presentations, experience and interact with tabletop demos, and explore IST’s new Digital Twin lab space.
