The 12th annual student research and creative activity fair took place this last Friday with students from all different areas of study, showing off the research they have been working on.
The event was held at the Milo Bail Student Center, those who were interested could view and or participate in demonstrations or ask those conducting the research to explain their research and findings.
One of the most popular demonstrations at the fair was a virtual reality set up that people could put the headset on and dawn the controllers to interact with a world that had been created to help those with physical therapy.
The demonstration is a proof of concept of how physical therapists could see how a patient is moving their body to interact with the virtual environment and prescribe exercises to the patient without having to be in the same building, or even in the same country.
Participants were not only looking to bring attention to their work, but they are also competing against each other for prizes and awards.
