Interactive Media Research

AI iconWith the introduction of consumer-level and affordable virtual reality and augmented reality hardware, the need to understand how to create effective content in VR is crucial. Other than entertainment, VR has a wide variety of applications including training (medical, nuclear, military), simulation-based learning, rehabilitation, and more. Virtual reality research is prevalent across the entire institution at Ontario Tech with leading researchers independently advancing the state-of-the-art. The Interactive Media and Virtual Reality Research Group (IMVR) aims to bring together these experts to enhance collaboration.
