Research Credit

The NOMR VR lab project has created a number of research opportunities for undergraduate students taking PHYS 499 (Independent Study) so far, including:

  • Development of real-time simulations of charge distributions on conductors of arbitrary shape subject to external electric fields.
  • Design and implementation of a data structure for managing event causality and timing in context of a special relativity simulation
  • Enforcement of inter-client consistency in a probabilistic physics simulation run by multiple networked clients;
  • Prototyping a VR optics lab for potential use in PHYS 119 and 123 labs.

We are expanding the undergraduate student developer team to create more opportunities to explore the nascent field of VR education research, opening opportunities for new avenues of exploration to students at a critical time in the field’s development.
