Interactive simulations, active research part of VEMI Lab open house
The Virtual Environment and Multimodal Interaction (VEMI) Laboratory at the University of Maine will hold its annual open house from 4–6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21. The lab, located in Carnegie Hall, is part of the spatial informatics program in the School of Computing and Information Science and houses Maine’s only research facility that combines a fully immersive virtual reality installation with augmented reality technologies in an integrated research and development environment. Students, faculty, staff, friends and family are invited to explore the latest research and development from the VEMI Lab. Interactive simulations will be held on the first floor, and active research will take place on the second floor. Light refreshments will be available.
