Paving the way for VR
Unsure about the use of VR in education? Then the presentation by Hamami
is a must-attend. Over the past few years, Hamami has worked on
exciting projects in academic institutions and private companies to
establish a new way of teaching and working using VR technology. Since
the start of this year, he’s been head of the VR Section at Qatar
University, which just recently opened an impressive VR lab featuring a
Barco CAVE. Confident as he is about the benefits of VR, Hamami is
dedicated to spreading the use of VR around the Middle East and Africa
Region.
So versatile
In his presentation, Mohammed Hamami will explain how he aims to bridge
the gap between virtual reality and real life by bringing the experience
into classrooms and the workplace. “While VR technology has
traditionally been used as a marketing or presentation gimmick, it can
also be used for more practical matters,” Hamami said in a recent
interview about the new CAVE (Doha news). “The thing about VR is that
it’s so versatile. It can be adapted to any use in diverse fields like
engineering, architecture, biomechanics, mathematics and education, and
that’s just the beginning.” Don’t miss this speaking slot if you want to
hear how Hamami and his team use the brand-new Barco CAVE to gain new
insights and inspire and motivate their students ...
