Edge Hill University’s ActiveCube is the UK’s first 4k 3D virtual environment—part of its new £13m Technology Hub. The four-screen CAVE (Computer Augmented Virtual Environment) installed by Virtalis offers students and businesses the chance to fully immerse themselves in a virtual setting.
Using Visionary Render and real complex data to replicate reality, students will be able to experience real-life scenarios in 4k resolution. This could include engineering, designing and training or even complex surgery and lab scenarios, providing the essential tools to use in real-life, as well knowledge and experience to use in the top-leading organisations.
Speaking to Roger Perrin, IT Technician at Edge Hill University, “The ActiveCube is used on a daily basis, from students to lecturers, and even budding entrepreneurs, that tap into the skills and knowledge of the University and local industry in ‘The Hatchery’, a working space for new business ideas."
