Project Summary Virtual and Augmented Reality Interaction Core The Virtual and Augmented Reality Interaction (VARI) Core is designed to facilitate access and applications for immersive visual stimulus environments. The core will continue to be directed and managed by Dr. Eelke Folmer, Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, who specializes in augmented and virtual reality research. Virtual reality and augmented reality are considered essential to the next generation of visual and cognitive neuroscience research programs because of the novel and highly improved opportunities to provide controlled immersive stimulus experiences that allow analysis of perception, cognition, and behavior in naturalistic visual environments and tasks. The core was established in Phase II and supported a wide array of projects within and beyond Center-supported faculty including a number of extramurally funded projects. In Phase III we will continue to enhance and expand the equipment, training and services required for neuroscience research using virtual reality and augmented reality resources. The core will offer training and workshops in usage of this equipment, and software development services for developing virtual reality and augmented reality applications. The technology and services through the core are essential to efficiently support the growing cluster of visual and cognitive neuroscience faculty at UNR. In Phase III we will further expand this user base including supporting the Pilot Project Program through the Center, and will develop the policies and plans to progressively shift funding for the core from the COBRE to user-and grant- based as well as institutional support.

项目摘要 虚拟和增强现实交互核心 虚拟和增强现实交互(VARI)核心旨在促进访问和应用 身临其境的视觉刺激环境。该中心将继续由艾尔克博士指导和管理 福尔默，计算机科学与工程系教授，专门研究增强 和虚拟现实研究。虚拟现实和增强现实被认为是下一个 由于视觉和认知神经科学研究方案的新颖性和高度改进 提供受控沉浸式刺激体验的机会，允许分析感知、认知、 以及在自然视觉环境和任务中的行为。核心是在第二阶段建立的， 支持中心支持的教职员工内部和外部的广泛项目，包括 外部资助的项目。在第三阶段，我们将继续加强和扩大设备、培训和 使用虚拟现实和增强现实资源进行神经科学研究所需的服务。核心将会 提供使用该设备的培训和工作坊，并提供软件开发服务 虚拟现实和增强现实应用。通过核心提供的技术和服务至关重要 以有效地支持北卡罗来纳大学日益增长的视觉和认知神经科学教员群。在第三阶段，我们 将进一步扩大这一用户基础，包括通过该中心支持试点项目计划，并将 制定政策和计划，逐步将核心的资金从Cobre转移到用户-并提供- 基于和体制上的支持。
