At ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, your learning can take you to some surprising places.
Both literally and virtually.
is leading the way with immersive learning experiences using mixed reality—a fusion of digital and physical realms where students encounter digital content intertwined with real-world surroundings. It’s the home of our Microsoft HoloLens technology. And, at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, we are the only institution working with mixed reality at this scale on the planet.
It’s a game-changer for what (and how) you’ll learn.
“The level of insight that mixed reality brings to a broad range of disciplines is just unattainable through traditional teaching methods—and it’s increasing student knowledge. It’s going to be the way of the future of learning.â€
—Mark Griswold, PhD, faculty director of the Interactive Commons
For ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ students the future is now. Because they’re using mixed reality technology to deepen their understanding from entirely new viewpoints.
Check out these ways ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ students have used HoloLens
- Visiting Egypt’s fifth-century Red Monastery
- Getting up close and personal with the planets in our solar system
- Learning to code a dataset to a 3D visual format
- Traveling back in time to visit Greece’s Sanctuary of the Great Gods at Samothrace (now in ruins) and see it as it was more than 2,000 years ago.
- Engaging with holographic depictions of human anatomy.
- Seeing polymers moving and wiggling in 3D space and using holographic tools to take and aggregate measurements
​When you learn on the cutting edge, your understanding of your field will be second to none.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ will give your headstart. And it starts with a mixed reality headset.
We are grateful for your continued interest in ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ and will continue to stay connected with you during the coming weeks.​
