Background

At the forefront of telecommunication technologies, XR (Extended Reality) connects people through space and time. Our vision for the future of XR is not an isolated dystopian world depicted in Ready Player One (Steven Spielberg, 2018). Instead, it is the ability to visualize memories, learn better, and hang out with each other transcending the boundary of physics.

Goals

The XR team is currently working on a mixed reality farming simulator teaching crop care, fostering connections to food origins. The team is exploring ways to integrate generative AI and computer vision (e.g. NPC chatbot, depth estimation, environment brightness, or tangible objects). Last year, the team launched WashU Wayfinder, an AR app for campus navigation, to the App Store. Other previous works include a VR archery game, viewing 3D campus in HoloLens, and combining XR with other robotics projects.
