This early stage project will create VR training for Electron Microscopy in collaboration with
Dr. Chris Marvel, a materials scientist in LSU's department of Mechanical Engineering.
By creating interactive visualization of both the instrumentation and the software, students will be able to complete iterative training significantly faster and more flexibly at a fraction of the cost of running the microscopes live.
Promising custom VR / physical interfaces and accurate, complex results, the explicit goal of the project is to greatly reduce roadblocks and constraints in a traditionally multi-year training regimen.
