About the event

Virtual and Augmented Reality
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are revolutionizing various sectors of life.

In education, they provide immersive learning environments that make complex concepts more accessible.
In healthcare, VR and AR aid in surgical training, anatomical visualizations, and treatments.

Industries like gaming and retail leverage these engaging technologies to transform entertainment and shopping.

This session will provide an overview of some of those changes and will offer an exciting opportunity for you to play with these technologies.

Back by popular demand! Farhad Dastur is a faculty member in the Psychology Department at KPU. In addition to teaching, he has held several administrative, research, and consultative roles.
In 2019, he founded KPU’s Virtual Reality Lab, a creative hub where students and collaborators engage in research and educational projects.
Farhad’s first TALK course was in 2004. Over the years, he has lectured on visual illusions, evolutionary psychology, memory, the mind, aviation safety, the Amazon rainforest, frustrating everyday products and virtual reality.
