University of Cyprus spearheads virtual reality project
November 23, 2021
The University of Cyprus’ Department of Computer Science is coordinating a virtual reality (VR) project, with the aim of training a future generation of innovators and researchers in the field of VR simulation and animation.
Titled CLIPE, short for Creating Lively Interactive Populated Environments, the project is part of the European Union’s Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN).
“The accomplishment of such innovations calls for a reconsideration of the educational, research and professional objectives that higher institutions and businesses uphold,” CLIPE said, referencing the increasing proliferation of VR worlds, including Facebook’s recent turn towards futuristic digital landscapes.
