i-Space: Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

Consisting of the Digital Makerspace, Digital Visualisation Room and Studios

Virtual Reality (VR) & Augmented Reality (AR)

Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment which intends to give the person experiencing it a strong sense of immersing in that virtual environment. Users can interact with virtual objects in the enclosed virtual world. A sister technology, Augmented Reality (AR) is a combined view of overlaying computer-generated imagery or information over the real world visual. It targets to engage users in their existing surroundings augmented with digital content. While both technologies have decades of history, they gain popularity in gaming in recent years, and are now largely employed in other areas including education, training, engineering, industrial design, therapy and fine art.

Below are some resources for you to freely explore in our i-Space. 

Remark: For the facilities not installed for open access or if you want to try any VR Apps, please  Book a Consultation Session

"Launched in 2020, Decentraland is a virtual social world, the first decentralized metaverse, and the only one that is open source. Within the Decentraland platform, which can run on a browser or desktop client, users can create, experience, and monetize content and applications as well as socialize and attend a wide range of daily, community-driven events. Decentraland is unique in that it is owned, created, and governed by the people who use it every day. Through Decentraland's decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) users can submit and vote on proposals and even apply for grants for the community to vote on." -- Decentraland FAQ
