The ARVR Lab is a state-of-the art laboratory within Augusta University's School of Computer and Cyber Sciences. As part of the Cyber-Physical Systems group, we build hardware and software that can improve how we interact with virtual content and strive to achieve a balance of theoretical and practical research.

Topics include the practical use of head worn augmented reality during training, dynamic activities, or outdoor navigation
We also strongly encourage students to come up with their own topics in AR, VR, Eye tracking, ML and AI.
This includes the use of eye tracking and biometrics to help detect cognitive states and regulate or support a user's actions through visualization.
We develop intelligent agents that help facilitate remote learning and training in co-located / remote environments.
Individuals interested in working at the lab can apply here.
