Kopper wins Best Research Demonstration Award at the IEEE Virtual Reality Conference

Dr. Regis Kopper and his research team at the Interactive Realities Lab at UNC Greensboro received the Best Research Demonstration Award at the 2020 IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces (IEEE VR), which took place virtually on March 22-26, 2020.

The research demo highlights the use of virtual reality to simulate next-generation user interfaces in law enforcement traffic stops and is part of the project “Design, Prototyping and Evaluation of Next Generation Public Safety User Interfaces” funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).  Members of the research team are Dr. Kopper, postdoctoral associate Dr. Jeronimo Grandi, research volunteer Mark Ogren and student researcher Zekun Cao.
