What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear the words virtual reality? Is it video games or simulators? Or maybe Meta’s social media platform? For some Missouri S&T students, the answer is architectural engineering.
In Dr. Stuart Baur’s new virtual reality laboratory, prospective students touring the S&T campus can get a taste of the types of research and studying they can conduct at the university by using virtual reality goggles to view the campus’ Solar Village homes. Baur’s programs allow viewers to virtually move around in the buildings, view structural information about them and pass straight through walls to see all the components that go into building “smart” homes.
The Solar Village in virtual reality was modeled and programmed by Andrew Kinder and Melorin Azimzadeh, both seniors in architectural engineering. Both are working to build virtual models to create a new way for S&T students to study architecture and construction engineering.
