Abstract:
Most students don't have an opportunity to be exposed to experimental research other than through technical papers published in the literature. To immerse students or researchers into a laboratory testing experience by visualizing and interacting with the data in an active fashion, a potential of using virtual reality was evaluated using the results from a laboratory test.
