A new 360-degree perspective on wound care has already attracted attention from the health care industry, and Assistant Professor Salam Daher and Dahlia Musa Ph.D. ’25 from NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing have a goal to further develop a 3D graphics simulation tool to patent it for commercial use.
With artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT rapidly gaining traction among students and teachers alike, it’s no surprise the topic took center focus at NJIT’s 8th Annual STEM Forum for School Leaders, “Leading the Digital Transformation in Our Schools.”
New Jersey Institute of Technology has a new Extended Reality (XR) Laboratory on campus, where students and faculty can learn to use augmented- and virtual-reality as a learning and teaching tool.
The lab is now open in Guttenberg Information Technologies Center, room 1402, across from the NJIT makerspace. It’s operated by the digital learning office and complements Ying Wu College of Computing’s MIXR Lab, where researchers study XR itself, on the third floor of the same building.
Can learning your periodic tables in chemistry class actually be fun? Kantida Nanon, a Ph.D. candidate, thinks her augmented reality (AR) solution may provide the eureka moment that every science teacher seeking to better engage students has sought for decades.
Hrishi Sidhartha ’15, has turned an elective into a career to envy. As a game designer with Grinding Gear Games, he spends his day shaping Path of Exile 2, one of the most anticipated action role-playing games on the market. He had to relocate to the other side of the world — or at least down under — to join the Auckland, New Zealand-based company, but making necessary life adjustments was literally in the name of the game when offered a once-in-lifetime opportunity.
The increasing interest in NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) as an educational destination for Vietnamese students has inspired a partnership between NJIT and Fulbright University, Vietnam (FUV). The partnership will offer FUV undergraduate students a unique opportunity for a U.S. educational experience in the global tech hub of the New York metro region, and credit towards an accelerated master’s degree.
This year's Jersey Capture The Flag competition proved that participants and organizers could hack it, as the real-time event organized by NJIT students attracted 1,515 registrants comprising 801 teams from across the globe, all trying to crack 60 cybersecurity-based puzzles.
How can we prevent artificial intelligence from exacerbating systemic discrimination and leverage it as a force for good to promote social and environmental justice?
Policy experts from organizations such as the Innocence Project, prominent data scientists and others will discuss the profound, but often silent role of AI in our lives at “Women Designing the Future: Artificial Intelligence/Real Human Lives,” an upcoming conference hosted by the Murray Center for Women in Technology at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
Dora Gomez ’18 walked the cozy, private dining room of Seasons 52 in Paramus, New Jersey greeting fellow NJIT alumni and swapping stories like she has done it dozens of times before. In truth, this was her first time helping to organize an NJIT alumni event as the new volunteer organizer for the northern New Jersey chapter.
With the world's population of geriatric patients increasing faster than enough caretakers can be trained for the difficult job, NJIT Assistant Professor of Informatics Salam Daher thinks augmented reality technology may help close the gap.
Daher and her students are prototyping a digital model of an older person which is aware of its feelings and environment. Existing models only cover physical aspects, so it's opening new ground to have a patient simulator that teaches caretakers about the emotional and psychological aspects of their daily work.
