Aufgabe

Information systems and digital services work in partnership with our academic and professional services colleagues to deliver digital and IT services that help the University achieve its strategic objectives in teaching and research. We help to create the University of the future by co-designing new ways of working, enhancing productivity, reducing complexity, supporting innovation and providing the insights to drive continuous improvement. More recently, information systems and digital services has considered the potential ways in which a range of new technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing and extended reality may impact upon higher education. The purpose of this DPS is to establish a panel of vendors to enable the University to explore and exploit these technologies in key areas.

Extended Reality

Beschreibung der Beschaffung / Leistugnsumfang

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are increasingly combined as ‘Extended Reality’. Augmented reality can be described as experiencing the real world with an overlay of additional computer generated content. In contrast, virtual reality immerses a user in an entirely simulated environment, while mixed or merged reality blends real and virtual worlds in ways through which the physical and the digital can interact.
