The XR Hub is proposed to leverage DXIHub’s interdisciplinary, innovation and incubation framework for faculty, students, and staff to:
support R&D in the campus adoption and deployment of XR technologies;
assist faculty for XR learning experience design and content development;
provide training opportunities for students;
leverage current DxIHub internship and PBL programs to offer student learn-by-doing for XR development;
maintain the Hubs at Fresno State as an Open Educational XR Platform and advocate for Open Education Resources (OER), offloading the licensing cost of XR content onto students;
produce immersive VR/360 lab experiences;
offer a collaborative research platform for the campus.
The Hub of Digital Transformation and Innovation (DXIHub) supports Innovation, Research and Development at Fresno State.
Align with the university’s core mission to boldly educate and empower students for success, DXIHub strives to inspire students to apply their education toward developing innovative solutions to real-world problems using the best and latest technologies to ensure that Fresno State and community partners throughout the Central Valley can perform at the highest level.
