Research Group
This is an undergraduate research project in the School of Information Technology at Illinois State University. It was proposed by Dr. Mangolika Bhattacharya, who advises the group, and is carried out by three undergraduate researchers. Dr. Sally Xie contributes to the project’s guidance as well.
The project explores how virtual reality can support building simulation and CAD/BIM-based education, building on models authored in tools such as Autodesk Revit and made interactive for inspection and learning.
