Virtual Environment Training

The initial thrust is to create an effective training environment for mine safet y training without the hazards and expense of a real mine or emergency situation s. This environment leverages state-of-the-art 3-D visualization, simulation and immersive technologies, such as stereo displays, motion tracking, simulated smo ke, etc. This eventually led to the choice of Second Life as a virtual reality p latform. https://sites.google.com/a/gapps.marshall.edu/vizlab/about/history
