Edge Hill University is preparing to unveil the cave automatic virtual environment (CAVE), the U.K.'s first super-immersive three-dimensional virtual environment, as part of its new Technology Hub. The CAVE is equipped with four screens, offering users the chance to fully immerse themselves in a virtual room. Users can input real data to replicate reality and experience real-life scenarios in 4-K resolution.
The Technology Hub aims to be a key resource for students, employers, and anyone else who wants to take advantage of this state-of-the-art technology. In addition, a Tech Sandpit will unite students and businesses to discuss challenges and ideas that can then be developed using expertise from across computer science and biotechnology.
"Having this dedicated facility for technology shows the university's commitment to technological innovation, computing, and bioscience and reflects our success in producing employable, highly skilled graduates who contribute to the regional economy and beyond," says Edge Hill pro vice-chancellor Mark Allanson. He notes the Technology Hub also will be open to schools in areas where students are unlikely to enter higher education, or study science, technology, engineering, and math subjects.
