Virtual en Augmented Reality openen nieuwe deuren. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de wereld van computer games, die hierbij een hele nieuwe dimensie krijgt. Maar naast gamen, kan VR & AR ook hele praktische toepassingen hebben; chirurgen gebruiken AR-tools om tijdens een gecompliceerde operatie "achter" het oppervlak te kijken. Wist je dat een VR-bril - in combinatie met een digitale therapeut - hoogtevrees kan genezen? VR wordt zelfs gebruikt om het criminele brein te bestuderen. Nieuwsgierig? Kom zelf een kijkje nemen bij onze buffet-lezing over VR & AR!

Aanmelden via de website vóór 17 maart
Kosten buffet: € 5,- voor studenten en € 10,- voor overigen

Deelname aan alleen de lezingen is gratis. De lezingen zijn in het Engels.

VIRTUAL REALITY CAN MAKE A BETTER WORLD

Virtual and Augmented Reality open up new worlds. The immersive world of VR computer games is a good example of this. VR & AR can also have practical applications: surgeons use AR-equipment during complicated surgery to look ‘through’ tissue. And did you know that a VR-goggle can help cure fear of heights? VR is even used to study the criminal mind. Curious? Come and see for yourself during our buffet-lectures on VR & AR.
