EXPLORES FRONTIERS OF TECHNOLOGY “It feels like science fiction.” This is how Matthew Camp, ’19, information technology (IT), describes his research into cutting-edge visualization technologies as a GGC student. “It’s not 20 years in the future,” he said. “It’s here now.” One technology is reminiscent of the holograms in Tony Stark’s laboratory in the Marvel movie series. Using a variation of virtual reality (VR) technology called mixed reality, special goggles seem to project a 3-D image in front of their wearer. However, unlike typical VR images that immerse the viewer within a 3-D scene, the viewer can walk around the 3-D image and view it from all angles.
Matthew Camp, ’19, holds a Hololens, a holographic computer and head-mounted display unit.
