The NExT lab provides access to a farm of 32 Makerbot 3D Printers accessible to all of the university. Please check out our Knowledge Base for our submission requirements! Knowledge Base + Submission Requirements Submit a Request 3D Scanning allows you to capture real-world physical data and output as a 3D digital reconstruction. You will be able to generate digital 3D models and spatial data using techniques such as photogrammetry and devices such as handheld and terrestrial laser scanners. Knowledge Base Create, experience and interact with immersive virtual environments. Using a combination of a headset, controllers and sensors, your physical movements are translated directly into the digital. We support a variety of HTC Vive Virtual Reality Headsets. Knowledge Base Overlay digital information over our physical world and augment how you view your world. Using a headset that tracks your hands, you can interact with digital holographic content. We support the Microsoft Hololens family.
