Collaborative Research: An I/UCRC Planning Grant to Create A Vision Enhancement Technology Center (VETC)

一次工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)规划会议已被授予，以确定西弗吉尼亚大学与佐治亚理工学院建立新的I/UCRC视力增强技术的可行性。西弗吉尼亚大学带来了这一领域的核心研究人员团队，与州政府机构的密切合作关系，一个虚拟环境实验室模型，以及临床研究和推广设施。佐治亚理工学院拥有工程教员，他们拥有电气工程、康复工程、工业设计、光学、计算机科学和其他学科的专业知识，将把他们的资源集中在一起，专注于低视力和盲人人群的需求。

An Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) planning meeting has been awarded to determine the feasibility of the University of West Virginia with the Georgia Institute of Technology of establishing a new I/UCRC for Vision Enhancement Technology. West Virginia University brings a core team of researchers in this field, a close working relationship with state agencies, a model virtual environments laboratory, and clinical research and outreach facilities. The Georgia Institute of Technology has engineering faculty with expertise in electrical engineering, rehabilitation engineering, industrial design, optics, computer science and other disciplines that will bring their resources together to focus on the needs of the low vision and blind populations.
