WVII Interviews Engineering Student About VEMI Lab Project

Dustin Sleight, an engineering student at the University of Maine, spoke with WVII (Channel 7) about a research project he is raising funds for at UMaine’s Virtual Environment and Multimodal Interaction (VEMI) Laboratory. Sleight and other undergraduate students have started a Kickstarter campaign to aid the purchase of a virtual reality motion platform that would be used with other VEMI equipment, such as the driving simulator    that calculates reaction time. “I think engineering in general, there’s an obligation to do something good for the community, good for an individual, good for the progress of humankind,” Sleight said. WABI (Channel 5) also reported on the project.
