Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Centennial College
$24,998.00
AMD - Centennial - VR platform
EF 2016-17
Résumé
The proposed research project is driven by the success of the Oculus Rift which in 2012 demonstrated the feasibility of consumergrade Virtual Reality (VR) headsets. This created a mass appeal and has led to the accelerated development of applications andsupporting hardware. Application usage can include but is not limited to gaming, real estate tours, medical procedure training,flight simulations, and distant education learning.Optimizing existing VR technologies will significantly enhance the user experience. This requires the optimization betweencomputer graphic hardware and digital graphic art. The collaboration between AMD and Centennial College provides thenecessary resources for optimization. Centennial Colleges Story Arts Center has the capabilities to design and model graphic artwhich can then be rendered utilizing AMDs hardware.AMD proactively invests in upcoming technologies, the VR consumer grade headsets allows AMD to focus on the next markettrend. Through this research AMD in collaboration with Centennial College will develop and optimize an environment todemonstrate the computing power of Radeon graphic cards.
