REU Site: Virtual Environments REU Site

机构：西弗吉尼亚大学提案编号：0353806 PI：Frances L.货车Scoy标题：REU研究中心：虚拟环境REU站点这个项目建立了一个专注于虚拟环境和多传感器计算的REU站点。 它将建立在以前的REU网站奖，以建立在西弗吉尼亚大学正在进行的研究项目的本科生研究实习。 实习生还将参加虚拟环境实验室（VEL）的半周虚拟技术课程。 项目将包括脑功能成像研究;计算材料科学;地理信息系统（GIS）与虚拟现实的整合;以及先进的可视化技术在生物统计学中的应用。 实习生将在导师，研究生，其他本科生，有时高中生团队工作。 该项目每年将支持11名学生进行为期10周的研究实习。 PI将像过去一样继续从波多黎各招募实习生。 该计划还将强调学生的演讲和出版。

Institution: West Virginia UniversityProposal Number: 0353806PI: Frances L. Van ScoyTitle: REU Site: Virtual Environments REU SiteThis project establishes an REU site focusing on virtual environments and multisensory computing. It will build on a prior REU Site award to establish undergraduate research internships in on-going research projects at West Virginia University. The interns will also participate in semi-weekly classes on virtual technology at the Virtual Environments Lab (VEL). Projects will include research in functional brain imaging; computational materials science; integration of geographical information systems (GIS) with virtual reality; and applications of advanced visualization technology in biometrics. The interns will work in teams of mentors, graduate students, other undergraduates, and sometimes high school students. The project will support 11 students per year for a 10-week research internship. The PI will continue to recruit interns from Puerto Rico as she has in the past. The program will also emphasize student presentations and publication.
