Dr. Tang invited to exhibit latest research on VR-based myopia therapy at TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo

by RIVRT Activity

We are pleased to announce that our esteemed Principle Investigator, Dr. YM Tang, exhibited our latest research at the TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo. The event was held from 19-21 June, 2023 at Washington, DC, and was renowned for connecting top applied research and early-stage innovations from universities, labs, and startups with industry end-users and prospectors.

The conference comprised several programs, including the annual SBIR/STTR Innovation Conference, AI TechConnect, the TechConnect Technical Program, and the Nanotech Conference Series. The exhibition was the largest and longest-running nanotechnology event in the world, offering a platform for researchers and innovators to showcase their latest findings to a global audience.

Dr. Tang’s exhibit focused on our latest research project, titled “Accommodation Myopia Therapy Training Using Virtual Reality (VR) Head Mounted Device for Adolescents and Children.” The project, which had garnered significant attention in the scientific community, aimed at developing a novel VR-based training program for the treatment of myopia in children and adolescents.

The innovative therapy leveraged the immersive capabilities of VR technology to simulate real-world scenarios that require the eyes to focus and work in tandem, thus helping to improve visual acuity and reduce the onset of myopia. The program had shown great promise in early-stage trials, and Dr. Tang was excited to share our latest findings with the wider scientific community at the TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo.

Over the years, TechConnect had published over 10,000 technical papers, connected over 20,000 innovations with industry partners, provided prospecting to most all Fortune 500 technology companies, and supported most every U.S. Science and Technology agency, including the National Nanotechnology Initiative since its inception. We were honored to have been part of this prestigious event and to have had the opportunity to exhibit our research to fellow innovators, industry leaders, and potential partners.

On March 9, 2023, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) interviewed Ir. Dr. YM Tang, a renowned expert in virtual reality and immersive technology, to discuss the development and applications of Metaverse.

During the interview, Ir. Dr. Tang shared his insights on the potential of the Metaverse and its impact on various industries, including entertainment, e-commerce, and education. He highlighted the importance of collaboration among different sectors to fully realize the potential of the Metaverse and create engaging and immersive experiences for users.

Ir. Dr. Tang also discussed another important factor in Metaverse development is the growth of online communities and social networks. As more people spend time online and engage with each other through social media and other digital platforms, the demand for richer, more engaging virtual experiences is increasing.

Applications of the Metaverse are already beginning to emerge in a variety of fields. One of the most promising areas of application is in the entertainment industry. Virtual reality concerts, games, and other experiences are already gaining popularity, and as the Metaverse continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more immersive and engaging entertainment experiences.

In the education and training sector, the Metaverse has the potential to transform the way we teach and learn. Virtual reality simulations and interactive environments can provide hands-on learning experiences that are not possible in traditional classroom settings.

The interview with Ir. Dr. Tang provides a valuable perspective on the current state and future prospects of the Metaverse, and highlights the growing interest in this technology among the media and general public. As the Metaverse continues to evolve and mature, it is likely to have a profound impact on the way we interact with the digital world, and on the way we live, work, and play.

Mixed Reality混合實境教師體驗日 探索應用科技教學

by RIVRT Activity

香港理工大學工業及系統工程系於12月12日邀請了聖母無玷聖心書院(Immaculate Heart of Mary College)約60名教職員參加混合實境教師體驗日，到訪綜合產品設計實驗室及伍達倫數碼實驗室參觀VR/AR等教學設備。

鄧博士及其研究團隊介紹虛擬實境、擴充實境、混合實境於教學上的多元應用，以及讓教師親身體驗VR/AR和製作全息投影模型，探索如何將這些科技應用於日常教學。

體驗內容包括沉浸式虛擬實境洞穴系統、頭戴式VR系統、Hololens AR裝置等，渴望透過科技提升學生的興趣。

教師體驗了訓練程序教學(Procedural Learning)及沉浸式學習(Immersive Learning)探索混合實境的教學應用。他們亦透過親身體驗製作全息影像(Hologram)，思考對於3D圖像學習的教學應用。教師體驗了訓練程序教學(Procedural Learning)及沉浸式學習(Immersive Learning)探索混合實境的教學應用。他們亦透過親身體驗製作全息影像(Hologram)，思考對於3D圖像學習的教學應用。

教師可在課堂中加入混合實境的沉浸式體驗、無地域限制、互動化等特性，必定能讓學生提升學習興趣，並在課堂內外獲益良多。
