Virtual reality is a valuable tool for simulating environments as NASA astronauts prepare for space missions. They also train underwater to get a feel for what it’s like to be in space.
Two Embry-Riddle students are looking to merge those worlds.
One of the students is Matt Meyers, a 2011 Ada High School graduate.
Human Factors students Nathan Sonnenfeld and Meyers have used a 3-D printer in the Game-based Education & Advanced Research Simulations (GEARS) Lab to make a plastic headset that uses wireless technology to create virtual environments, similar to Oculus Rift goggles.
Ada High School graduate Katelyn Guagenti’s summer plans involve a trip to Thailand and maybe Laos.
Guagenti, a sophomore communication science and disorders (speech pathology/audiology) major at Ohio State University, plans to be in Thailand from July 5 to 18. If her plans work out, she’ll also go to Laos from July 18-31.
Her summer plans center around a program titled GIVE. That stands for Growth International Volunteer Excursions.
