Digital Transformation
Immersive Technologies and Digital Innovation
The Digital Transformation capabilities support research, development, and experiential learning through immersive technologies, human-robot and human-computer interaction, advanced data visualization, digital environments, and simulation. Researchers and industry partners can access specialized equipment to study user behavior, evaluate digital experiences, create virtual and mixed reality applications, and explore emerging technologies that connect physical and digital systems.
