Learn - Experience - Develop
The Immersive Reality Lab is a central teaching and learning space at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences.
Here, research, practice, and teaching come together in an interactive learning environment where students not only learn about immersive technologies but also actively develop and evaluate them.
The lab is closely linked to the Bachelor program in Computer Visualization and Design (CVD) and offers a practice-oriented environment for innovative teaching formats.
The CVD program combines creative design with technical development and provides an ideal foundation for immersive media.
The program develops, among others, the following competencies:
The Immersive Reality Lab serves as an experimental platform to put theory directly into practice.
In the lab, practice-focused courses take place regularly, for example:
Design and implementation of own VR applications
Development and testing of augmented reality concepts
User studies and evaluation of immersive applications
Students independently develop prototypes, conduct tests, and present their results in real-world contexts.
The lab supports project-based learning at multiple levels:
In practice-oriented projects, students work on real-world challenges, for example in the areas of:
The lab provides excellent conditions for:
Students benefit from professional equipment and close support by instructors.
For courses and projects, modern systems are available:
VR headsets
AR glasses
Motion tracking
Biosensors and trackers
Workstations
Unity and Unreal Ready
The technical infrastructure enables professional development and testing conditions.
