Visit from Garze Sichuan Bureau – Exploring Advanced Immersive Technologies
RIVRT was honored to welcome a delegation from the Garze Sichuan Bureau for a comprehensive tour of our cutting-edge laboratories at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). The visit, aimed at fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, provided the delegation with an in-depth look at the innovative research and technologies being developed within the Faculty of Engineering.
The delegation was introduced to various state-of-the-art facilities, where they observed firsthand the application of advanced technologies such as virtual reality (VR), simulation systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) in engineering and industrial contexts.
One of the highlights of the visit was the demonstration of the immersive driving simulator, a sophisticated tool used for research in transportation safety and driver behavior analysis. The delegation members had the opportunity to experience the simulator themselves, gaining insights into how VR can be utilized to create realistic training environments and improve safety protocols.
The visit also included a detailed presentation on the current research projects underway at RIVRT, focusing on the integration of virtual manufacturing and AI in industry 4.0 applications. The delegation engaged in discussions with faculty members and researchers, exploring potential areas of collaboration between PolyU and the Garze Sichuan Bureau.
In another session, the delegation members explored the VR-based training modules developed for medical and industrial applications. These modules are designed to enhance skill development and training efficiency, providing a safe and controlled environment for learners to practice complex tasks.
The visit by the Garze Sichuan Bureau marks a significant step in strengthening ties between PolyU and Sichuan, promoting cross-regional collaboration in the fields of engineering and technology. RIVRT is committed to furthering these partnerships and contributing to the global advancement of research and innovation.
