On May 8 2015 the New York Chapter of IEEE Systems, Man, Cybernetics (SMC) Society presented Immersive Technology – a talk by Dr. George Chang, Dean of the College of Natural, Applied and Health Sciences at Kean University. Immersive technology is the bridge between the physical world and digital or simulated world. Many hardware/software technologies are developed to stimulate one or more of the five senses in order to achieve fully immersive environment. Most notably, the advances in 3D display and haptic devices enable developers to create and deploy meaningful and useable applications in training and the entertainment industry. Past, present and future technologies were discussed. Video is below.
