VSGC DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH


A Joint Middlebury College/St. Michael's College Research Project
This project will investigate the factors that influence ability to navigate in and learn environments in virtual reality simulations.  In particular, this research is applicable to the practical operation of the teleoperation of remote robotic vehicles and to the use of virtual simulations as training devices to prepare individuals for real-life encounters.
Press Release

Two major research questions to be considered in this component:

(a) Does greater peripheral vision enhance virtual simulations learning?
(b) Does virtual navigation ability relate to hormone status?

A Joint VTC/UVM Research Project
This project component, based at Vermont Technical Collage in Randolph, VT, will help to strengthen a research partnership between these educational institutions, as well as enhance the capability of the VSGC to Employ and Education NASA's future workforce. This will include research modelling the dynamics in the Arctic's marginal ice zone and students will develop and test a prototype for a sea ice sensor buoy that can provide a data stream via a satellite link for sea ice in the marginal ice zone of Alaska's Purdhoe Bay
