The Mixed Reality Lab (MXR) aims to push the boundaries of research into interactive new media technologies through the combination of technology, art, and creativity.
When Mr Khoo Eng Tat took up Electrical and Computing Engineering for his Bachelor of Engineering degree, he never knew it would open up a world which integrates technology with art and music. For this, he said, he has much to thank his supervisor, Assoc Prof Adrian Cheok, Director, Mixed Reality Lab at NUS.
Wang Xuan, a 2nd Year Ph.D. student in our lab, has recently been selected as the winner for Communication Technologies and Interface Track, Young Researchers and Ph.D. Workshop for Research on Innovative Solutions for Elderly (YR-RISE).
