The Virtual Reality Technology and Systems Engineering Research Center was officially inaugurated on Sunday in Haikou, capital of south China’s Hainan Province.
The center features multiple learning and demonstration platforms, including a Virtual Reality (VR) teaching and research office and a real-scene digital twin command center which will enhance multi-disciplinary education.
The center is jointly constructed by Hainan Institute of Science and Beihang University State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technology into talent cultivation and industry development.
For example, AI can enable virtual surgery simulations and virtual rehabilitation training, aiding doctors in surgical practice and rehabilitation therapy.
“We will build a platform for industry-university-research-application cooperation, promote the transformation of scientific research achievements, and provide intellectual support and technical skills for the construction of HainanFree Trade Port,” said Zheng Bing, director of the center.
