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

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。

PolyU Undergraduate Info Day 2022

On 8 October 2022, the PolyU Undergraduate Info Day 2022 (Info Day) was successfully held that a broad range of face-to-face/online activities were provided first-hand information on undergraduate studies to the participants. As the first local tertiary institute holding face-to-face event this year, about 26,000 participants participated the event.

RIVRT is appreciative of the opportunity to share our most recent technology advancements with young adults. We hope they will eventually enroll at PolyU in the future.

伊利沙伯醫院引入VR技術培訓實習醫生

伊利沙伯醫院與理工大學合作研發虛擬實境技術,讓實習醫生戴着
VR眼鏡練習血型配對等程序,可以增加練習次數,並減輕兼顧培訓的
專科醫生壓力。

戴上VR眼鏡進入虛擬病房環境就可以練習,為病人抽血做血型配對。

伊利沙伯醫院與理工大學合作研發虛擬實境技術,並購入四套VR眼鏡,
在去年十月開始供實習醫生練習。

在傳統的訓練模式,一個專科醫生有時要帶着七、八個實習醫生做訓練,
每節培訓時間有限。有實習醫生稱,以往會擔心練習不足。

醫院指,配合新科技培訓,還可減輕專科醫生要兼顧培訓工作的壓力,
醫院正計劃在VR加入更多培訓項目。

VR的模擬培訓在現時的技術未能加入病人的反應,所以適合用來培訓
着重程序的工作,一些着重與病人溝通的訓練仍然需要用傳統方式進行。
