The UCF research faculty luncheon series will continue in March with a presentation by Dr. Charlie Hughes, Associate Director, EECS; Director, Media Convergence Lab.

Mixed reality (MR) refers to techniques and technologies that blend real and virtual stimuli into a single multisensory experience. This presentation will describe a series of MR scenarios that have been created at the Media Convergence Laboratory (MCL). These include experiences for training, free-choice learning, rehabilitation, and performance assessment. Particular emphasis will be placed on an NSF-funded project, Water’s Journey through the Everglades, that involves faculty from EECS, IST, Digital Media, Statistics, Biology and English (Text &Technology).

A free boxed sandwich lunch will be provided to all those to RSVP by Monday, March 17th to Maddy Chokshi at mchokshi@mail.ucf.edu or via phone at 407-882-1141.
