| Project Lead | School | Project Details | Contact details |
|---|---|---|---|
| David O'Mahony | School of Mechanical Engineering | Utilising Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance learning for Neurodiverse students, with executive functioning deficit, in engineering task-based assessments.
This project is a research project. Unity and Microsoft Guides were used for this project, with a view to using other software in the future. |

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. |

| Enda Breslin | School of Transport and Civil Engineering | This proposed module will give students an insight into the use of digital and immersive technologies and their applications across the automotive sector. Students will gain experience in areas such as AR/VR, along with various digital media forms though exercises, projects and group activities.
Meta Quest 3S headsets. Applications such as First Steps, Spray Verse, VR Blast, and VR Weld software are being used. This project is still in the development phase but will be rolled out to students soon. |
