School of Mechanical Engineering A digital equivalent of a engineering fluid power experimental rig was developed and enhanced with Virtual Reality interaction functionality and deployed on Virtual Reality headsets. Students were provided with headsets to complete elements of the experiment virtually. The integration of a Virtual Reality intervention into this live laboratory setting was very appropriate in a number of ways.

This was a SATLE-funded project under the 'Digital Education' theme.

SolidWorks, Unity 6. and Meta Quest 3 headsets were all used for this project.
