History of the Virtual Reality Applications ______Center______

√ Created in 2000 to become the first six-sided synthetic immersive environment in the world. √ Created to test engineering designs and many other applications:

• Biology
• Live Combat
• Etc.

√ Renovated in 2007 to become the world’s highest resolution immersive environment.

How to get to the Virtual Reality Applications ______Center______

• 1. Take I-35 to the Ames exit.
• 2. Continue on Highway 30 to

the University Boulevard exit.

• 3. Continue on University

Boulevard, and then take a left onto Lincoln Way.

• 4. Continue on Lincoln Way,

and then take a right onto Welch Ave.

• 5. Continue on Welch Ave., it

will turn into Union Drive.

• 6. Continue on Union Drive,

and then take a right onto Bissell Road.

• 7. Howe Hall will be located on

your left.

√ Developing sustainable off-grid energy systems in rural Mail.

• Trying to make energy available and economically acceptable in

rural areas of Mali. !

Figure 3: VRAC and its use in flying aircrafts.

√ VE-Suite

• An application to use the VRAC as a

means for engineers.

• Lowers cost of building a model.
• Integrates data from different software

and increases time efficiency. !
