Mizzou Engineer studying augmented reality to bring coursework to life
A student uses augmented reality to study ergonomics, or the study of movements in the workplace. Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to bring coursework to life. Imagine, for instance, learning about supply chains by seeing the various components of an operation laid out in front of you, from the manufacturing plant to the delivery site. Jung Hyup Kim, an associate professor of industrial engineering, is exploring how best to incorporate AR technology into engineering curriculum. He’s the Principal Investigator on a National Science Foundation grant that is allowing him to design and test AR lessons in a…
