The ARC introduces students to cutting-edge immersive technology and provides unique opportunities for these students to work alongside expert faculty and industry partners in applying this technology to various aspects of manufacturing. An important component of the vision – something that makes OU’s ARC unique – is its emphasis on both the engineering and the design elements of immersive technology. Students from the College for Creative Studies, located in Detroit, work collaboratively with OU engineering and computer science students and faculty on integrated solutions for platform design and visual interfaces.
