What is UBT VR/AR Hub?
Even though VR and AR are still largely in the developmental stage, these concepts are no longer science fiction. Considering the pace of the technological development, as well as consumer and industry demands, researchers have put an emphasis on producing technology through which we solve problems and interact with our world.
In addition to serving as a major university in the Western Balkans and a European role model for an entrepreneurial and innovation-based university, UBT is also the home of one of EON Reality’s top international EON-XR Centers. Through this partnership, UBT students and professors have utilized EON-XR to create approximately 20,000 lessons — on subjects spanning 20 different programs . High-level educators and experts have selected the best of the batch to supplement the existing featured curricula for various subjects already on EON-XR.
Joining the self-directed learning movement as a way to effectively educate current students while also preparing the curricula for the future, the addition of the extra lessons will allow schools and businesses around the world to obtain and maintain comprehensive online courses for daily usage. Ultimately, the goal is to build a catalog of enough high-quality lessons to offer full academic curricula in numerous subjects and languages to educators and administrators for use in both remote learning as well as in-person classes.
From UBT’s point of view, hosting the EON-XR Cluster Center and bringing EON-XR to campus comes with the opportunity to distinguish even further. By utilizing the interconnected self-service platform and the Classroom 3.0 model, the world-class school is able to improve the interactivity and retention in lessons while also preparing students for the future by teaching them the technology that many leading industries and businesses are already using.
