We'll also see Engineering and Medicine students exploring the hardware and software sides of their 4D Immersive Surgery VIP course with Dr Susann Beier - the range of work is varied, and it’s a collaborative effort with both staff and students in designing and creating these innovative experiences for the courses.<br> <br> The WIL placements come in several forms, too. Students will often complete their studies through a project with us using knowledge and skills they have gained, as well as learning many more along the way.<br> We have Computer Science graduation thesis students working on a range of projects including an Eye Simulation VR for Ophthalmology and Optometry, as well as simulations aimed at helping students engage with various aspects of logistics within the Business School at UNSW Canberra, and many more.<br> <br> Professional Experience Project (PEP) placement students have now started working with our team in film production studies, while our Masters of Visualisation, Simulation and Immersive Design capstone students are working on the Student Wellbeing VR and the Virtual Experience Platform design.<br> <br> Our team has a keen focus on innovation across the University and we are tightly linked with not only innovative teaching practices, but a wide range of disciplines here at UNSW. We have many projects that are appropriate for student placements. We also have great contacts with other areas with interesting research projects to suit your students’ needs.<br> <br> <strong>If you’re interested in working with us or think your students would benefit from it, please contact us on <a href="mailto:service.immersivetech@unsw.edu.au">service.immersivetech@unsw.edu.au</a> or <a href="https://www.teaching.unsw.edu.au/immersive-technologies">visit the Teaching Gateway</a> to find out more about what we do! </strong></p> <p>We're also happy to come to you - we regularly conduct demonstrations and presentations for courses to provide academics and students with a feel for how innovation might change their discipline.
