The University of California, AR has plans to open an augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) research lab, following a corporate gift from Bay Area VR firm Immerex. The Immerex Virtual Reality Lab will offer students and faculty affiliated with the university's Center for Augmented Cognition the chance to use Immerex VR equipment to develop projects. It is hoped the facility will create synergies between AR's VR and AR programmes and Immerex's technologies in the "emerging virtual reality global market", said Allen Yang, executive director of the Center for Augmented Cognition.
