Immersive Design Lab ( IDL) at BNCA is a space equipped with advanced virtual and augmented reality technologies that allow users to create, design, and experience virtual environments. IDL use a combination of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies to create highly interactive and engaging digital experiences.
In IDL, students and faculty members can visualize and test their designs in a virtual environment, allowing for rapid prototyping and iteration. The virtual environment can be customized to simulate real-world conditions, allowing designers to explore various scenarios and make informed design decisions.
Key features of Immersive Design Lab
1. Virtual Reality (VR) Stations: Experience immersive environments and simulations that allow you to interact with digital models in three dimensions. Whether you’re exploring architectural designs, engineering prototypes, or virtual landscapes, our VR stations offer unparalleled realism and interactivity.
2. Mixed Reality (MR) Devices: Blend the physical and digital worlds with MR technology. Manipulate holographic objects overlaid onto your real-world environment, opening up new possibilities for design collaboration and visualization.
3. 360-Degree Camera: Capture panoramic views and immersive video footage with our high-resolution 360-degree camera. Whether you’re documenting real-world environments for virtual tours or creating immersive storytelling experiences, this tool will bring your vision to life.
4. LiDAR Scanner: Generate precise 3D models of real-world spaces with our LiDAR scanning technology. From architectural surveys to archaeological reconstructions, the possibilities are endless with this advanced scanning tool.
