In April, Associate Professor Ajla Aksamija presented at the UMass Data Science Research Symposium 2019.  Her talk, "VR and AR in Architectural Profession and Education", focused on how these emerging digital technologies can be used to benefit the architectural design process and improve communication between the design team, clients, consultants and builders.

Virtual and augmented reality tools offer improved visualization techniques, and provide an opportunity to fully experience spatial qualities, scale, integration of the building with the site, building geometry, structure, and other building systems. Ajla also discussed methods for integrating these emerging digital technologies in architectural education.
