IIT Kharagpur’s iVAR lab, iXRLabs collaborate to promote VR for higher education

Experts are hoping that this collaboration will promote research and innovation in the field of virtual reality for educational purposes. Through this partnership, the two organisations are hoping to enhance students’ learning experience significantly.

The modules in these programmes will cover a wide range of industrial settings, including machineries, plant tours, and experiments, such as a jet engine, thermal power plant, and universal testing machine. Also, the iVAR lab will provide inputs in the writing and development of a research paper/white paper based on the pilot project.

“The collaboration will facilitate and foster the research and innovation on the applications of virtual reality in education and training, which will pave the way for a new era of immersive learning experiences that can transform the way students acquire knowledge and skills,” said Dr. Kaushal Kumar Bhagat, iVAR Lab, IIT Kharagpur.
