The Virtual Reality Centre (VRC) of the Centre for Teaching and Learning, HSUHK, aims to support teaching and learning activities through extended reality technologies. The centre is equipped with Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE)-based interactive and immersive virtual reality system in its Virtual Reality and Big Data Analytics Laboratory (VRBD Lab). The centre applies virtual reality and augmented reality technologies and big data visualisation and analysis to various disciplines through the virtual reality systems and simulation tools.. The VR system has been developed to provide vivid stereoscopic views of sceneries in 3D design to facilitate visualization on 3D illustration of industrial supply chain operations, geometrical theories, financial modelling, and healthcare logistics operations. The system provides a versatile and powerful interactive virtual reality platform for operators to train and practice in complex and critical operations before assigned to work in real life operations. With the support of CAVE system and simulation software in the center, sophisticated big data in multi-dimension analysis will be carried out. The center aims to focus on the interactive visualization and big data analytics research and development in the areas of supply chain and logistics, banking and finance, business analytics, healthcare logistics, and heritage as well as provide an excellent interactive 3D learning platform to the students, academic researchers, and industrial practitioners.
