Summer, 2022
De-LAB is inviting you to help shaping the first VR Alcove in our faculty campus by designing and fabricating a unique VR workstation that is easily fabricated using cardboard and meet the needs of different users.
•Participants are required to design and fabricate a VR workstation (VR Alcove) that can be build using cardboard and laser-cutting.
•The VR Alcove should meet the needs of different VR users (Architects, Designers, Painters, Sculptors, etc…) in their work. Also considering the basic needs for VR 6-DoF users.
•The clear Volume of the VR Alcove should be ( 2m x 2m x 2m )
•The activities in the VR Alcove Could be performed when standing or seating depends on the characteristics if the activity.
•Applicants will have a session to use a 6-DoF VR headset to experience the needs and determine the approach for their design.
Objectives
• Supporting students’ activities and training opportunities.
• Enhancing sense of belonging
• Boosting teamwork skills
• Applying academia in the field
Limitations
• Each group consists of maximum 10 students. ·
• This is a 4-week training opportunity, but for groups that completed the workshop successfully, it will be pack together as 6-week training
