About the VR Lab Project

This project “Development of a Virtual Reality Laboratory with Multi-User Virtual Reality Content for Aviation Industry” (VR Lab Project) is funded by the Quality Enhancement Support Scheme (QESS) under the Education Bureau. It aims in showcasing the possibilities of using VR in teaching and learning for the Aviation Industry. To achieve the project objectives, three sets of multi-user VR application has been developed; a VR Lab equipped with four room-scale VR stations has been setup at our Island East Campus and the service was commenced since August 2020.

Such technological innovation provides an immersive experience, autonomy to perform authentic tasks in a virtual situation, as well as simulations of a series of procedural trainings for practicing team collaboration and communication when handling emergency scenarios. Adopting VR technology with customized enriched content in our Aviation Programmes could stimulate students' motivation and provide a virtual yet realistic and safe environment for our students.
