VEMI Lab open house Oct. 7

The Virtual Environment and Multimodal Interaction (VEMI) Laboratory at the University of Maine will hold its third annual open house from 4–6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7.

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.

Demonstrations of the lab’s latest research and development will be held during the free, family-friendly event. Visitors will be able to interact with and view the emerging virtual and augmented reality technologies that researchers work with daily.

Light refreshments will be available. For more information or to request a disability accommodation (Carnegie Hall is not currently wheelchair accessible), contact Richard Corey at 581.2151 or richard.r.corey@maine.edu.
