Study now includes AI, VR and holograms

CUTTING-EDGE digital learning spaces including Al and holograms have opened at a university.

- 

Using a £5.8 million Office for Students Stem Teaching Capital Fund grant, Loughborough University's DigiLabs focus on four key areas: artificial intelligence, simulation and modelling; extended reality learning (XRL); robotics; and 3D data capture and motion.

Proto Hologram, the world’s first holographic communications device, enables live beaming from anywhere in the world for real-time, interactive teaching while reducing carbon impact.

In its first teaching application, Professor Heike J6ns used the device to beam in Dr Johanna Hautala from the University of Vaasa, Finland, to deliver a lecture.
