AR/VR Laboratory
The AR/VR Lab of the DMIE is introducing the state-of-the-art Laboratory-based education to our staff, students, as well as for stakeholders in the industry. DMIE is continuing to adopt AR/VR to transform Engineering Education. The Lab presently consists of the Vive Cosmos Elite VR hardware including the headset, base stations and the trackers. A large LCD screen displays the AR view of the person who is wearing the VR headset. The lab presently consists of the software to simulate lathe operation, autonomous factory, machine troubleshooting, and lockout-tagout process. DMIE is now accelerating the implementation of more software by gaining more undergraduates' participation in the VR software development.
Vive Cosmos Elite Hardware
(VR CAD Models developed by our third year students Lahiru Dilshan, Ashen Jayathilaka, Sumudu Lakkana and Heshan Dharmapala.)
Industrial Robotics and Computer Integrated Laboratory
