Virtual reality research and development in NTU

Abstract

In 1981, Nanyang Technological Institute was established in Singapore to train engineers and accountants to keep up with the fast-growing economy of the country. In 1991, the institute was upgraded to Nanyang Technological University (NTU). NTU holds the rank for world's top young university for six consecutive years according to the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) world university ranking. Virtual Reality (VR) research began in NTU in the late 1990s. NTU's colleges, schools, institutes, and centers have contributed toward the excellence of VR research. This article briefly describes the VR research directions and activities in NTU.
