Category (affiliated institution)：Qingdao Key Laboratory
Introduction：
The Key Laboratory of Mixed Reality and Virtual Ocean in Qingdao City, relying on the platforms such as the Computer Science and Technology School, College of Marine Technology, and Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education for Marine Information Technology at Ocean University of China, has a team of researchers who have been engaged in virtual reality-related research work for a long time and have a high reputation both domestically and internationally. In some research fields, they have reached an advanced international level, forming a virtual reality technology R&D talent team with a reasonable age distribution, stable hierarchical structure, and outstanding innovation ability. The laboratory has a good international cooperation environment and scientific research atmosphere, as well as excellent scientific research and experimental conditions.
Based on the existing infrastructure and R&D conditions of the School of Information Science and Engineering at Ocean University of China, the laboratory cultivates and introduces talents in the field of virtual reality technology through advanced experimental equipment, integrates existing advantageous R&D teams and technologies, and builds a virtual reality technology R&D and talent training platform - the "Key Laboratory of Mixed Reality and Virtual Ocean in Qingdao City". The laboratory aims to break through the key technical bottlenecks that restrict the industrialization of virtual reality, create a favorable environment for domestic and international exchange and learning of virtual reality technology, cultivate a professional workforce that can serve local virtual reality industries, and better serve the virtual reality industry in Qingdao and surrounding areas. It also promotes the industrial application and commercialization of research results in virtual technology, comprehensively enhances the market competitiveness of the virtual reality industry in our city at home and abroad.
The purpose of the Key Laboratory of Mixed Reality and Virtual Ocean in Qingdao City is to follow the principle of complementary advantages and common development, give full play to the talent and research capabilities of universities and research institutes in Qingdao, improve scientific and technological levels, deepen the application of research results, take the scientific development path of "industry-university-research", enhance the service capabilities and level of the virtual reality industry, promote the application of virtual reality technology in urban management, smart ocean, education tourism, public safety and other fields in Qingdao, actively carry out key technical research, strive to build a core technology system, and jointly cultivate advanced specialized talents in virtual reality.
