ARC's Visualization team contributes to the 2025 IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces
April 3, 2025

ARC's Director of Visualization, Nicolas Polys and Computational Scientist Ayat Mohammed, along with Ashley Johnson, associate professor of practice for Construction Engineering and Management, and Nazila Roofigari-Esfahan, associate professor for building construction, contributed a workshop paper for the 32nd annual IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces (IEEE VR) in Saint-Malo, France, held in March 2025.
The workshop paper, "The Value of Immersion in Co-present, Collaborative Safety Review," described their ongoing multidisciplinary collaboration as part of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI). This project focuses on using Virtual and Augmented Reality to provide cross-platform lab exercises that immerse students in virtual dangerous construction situations where they must identify a number of safety violations.
