Baker College, in $25 Million, Five-Year Grant Partnership with EON Reality, to Implement Extended/Augmented Reality Curriculum Beginning Fall 2021
Summary
The five-year award of EON Reality technology and software products and services will launch a virtual Innovation Center across all Baker campuses, programs and learning modalities. XR lessons also will offer opportunities to project on-screen items into real world environments, use x-ray vision to see inside objects and engage with a live labeling function to help students better learn and understand complex concepts. In a benefit to the community-at-large, all of the XR curriculum developed over the next five years by Baker College in partnership with EON Reality, will be available and accessible to anyone with the free EON-XR app. “Incorporating Augmented Reality into our curriculum, and making it accessible to every single student with a cell phone or laptop, is the next step in our evolution.” Dr. Langen continued, “The trends in higher education all point to less passive learning models and more individualized, technology-driven experiences. “While many of our efforts have been focused on expanding EON-XR around the world, it’s always nice to be able to provide the same top-notch solutions to a new American partner in an area we haven’t reached before.
