Train the Trainers-Part 3on AR VR MR Development
Mr. M. Vasanthprakash, AP/EEE, conducted the 15th Faculty Learning Programme entitled AR VR MR Development.
In his presentation, he shared that Extended Reality
(XR) is an umbrella term for visual technologies that enhance or explore our view of the world. This is often done by overlaying or immersing computer text and graphics into real-world and virtual environments, or even a combination of both. XR encompasses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). While all three realities
share common overlapping features and requirements, each also has different purposes and underlying technologies.
So XR is set to play a fundamental role in the metaverse world. The next evolution of the Internet will converge real, digital, and virtual worlds into new realities, accessed via an Arm-powered 5G or 6G device such as a VR headset, AR smart glasses, or a spatial computer.
According to him, XR devices vary according to the type of AR, MR, and VR experience, the immersiveness, and the simplicity of human life that they enable. In addition, he gave a simple augmented reality (AR) live demo and played some animation videos for our faculty members to understand how XR technology can change our lives.
On February 8, 2023, ChettinadTech students along with faculty members from several departments visited an organic farm in Vanagam, Kadavur. There they served nammalvar kudil and numerous saplings and trees rich in micronutrients.
