Augmented Reality (AR) to support the design and delivery of AR immersive learning spaces

Over the course of the KTP, Gener8 will collaborate with the University to put in place the core AR development frameworks, infrastructure and methodologies to be able to rapidly and repeatedly specify, develop, test and deploy AR-enriched learning simulations to customers.

In establishing and embedding this 'blueprint', the KTP will also test, generate and commercialise a number of 'fore-runner' solutions which rely on different branch specialisms of AR and would be applicable for use in different learning environments.

Executing this project represents a major shift in practice and culture within Gener8, in terms of their software development. The AR developer will create a layer of digital experience and be able to work with video game engines.
The Associate will own the development and implementation of the project, being embedded in Gener8 full time. Their co-location with key staff and by developing strong internal networks will facilitate the transfer of knowledge. Academic staff will also offer consistent on site and remote support to the Associate and company.

Explicit documentation and training materials for the technology and methods used will be captured through design and technical specifications to ensure the core system is well understood for all future developments.
