3D HOLOGRAPHY IN TEACHING
VIT University has close connections with many leading universities all around the world including universities like Harvard, MIT, etc. We have an active student exchange program. However, this opportunity is provided to very few select students. A technology like 3D holography can successfully extend this opportunity to other students of the university as well. A 3D image of a professor taking a lecture in MIT can be projected in a classroom in VIT, where students here can interact with the professor teaching in a different continent.
Why this over video conferencing?
The biggest advantage of this technology over video conferencing is the fact that an actual projected 3D image of a professor helps stimulate a classroom-like atmosphere which enhances the teaching/learning experience. The biggest problem that any Indian university faces is the inadequacy of experienced professors. It will be an incredible opportunity for students here in VIT to learn from esteemed professors in leading universities. The exposure to these proficient people could help them develop a deeper understanding and interest in the subject matter.
Why a great opportunity for experts and research scientist?
The disadvantage of video conferencing is that it’s a one way process and the person conducting the conference hardly benefits from this experience. But in the 3D holography method of teaching, not only can the expert explain his subject of study in detail to the students, but students shall be more interactive and forthcoming with ideas, hence enhancing their learning experience which also incentivizes the experts to conduct such sessions. In the field of research, there has to be a constant influx of new ideas so as to avoid saturations and stagnation. Students interested in the field are encouraged to work/dwell upon their ideas with the help of research scientists. On a global level, this could revolutionize the way research is being carried out and students and specialists from across the nations could work on an experiment being conducted thousands of miles away from where they are.
