The Hainan Virtual Reality Technology and Systems Engineering Research Centre was officially inaugurated in June in Haikou.
The centre features multiple learning and demonstration platforms, including a Virtual Reality (VR) teaching and research office and a real-scene digital twin command centre aimed to enhance multi-disciplinary education.
“We will build a platform for industry-university-research-application cooperation, promote the transformation of scientific research achievements, and provide intellectual support and technical skills for the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port,”
Zheng Bing, director of the centre.
The centre was jointly constructed by the Hainan Institute of Science and Beihang University State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technology into talent cultivation and industry development.
Currently, AI and VR are enabling virtual surgery simulations and virtual rehabilitation training, aiding doctors in surgical practice and rehabilitation therapy.
