Last Wednesday our Project54 lab was one of the hosts at the High Technology Day here at UNH. Lots of local high school students had a chance to learn first-hand about different areas that various laboratories at UNH’s electrical, computer engineering and computer science departments work on. Oskar, Mark, Erika and me had a chance to introduce students to the work that we do in our lab.
Mark gave presentations about our Project54 system and also showed how the system works when installed in a real police cruiser. The picture below shows Mark demonstrating the system in our “lab car”.

Oskar and I presented our driving simulator and some of the interesting research we perform on it. Almost always when we present our lab, the simulator gets the most attention and this time was no exception. Each group of students had a chance to experience the simulator by driving in the virtual world. As expected, most students couldn’t resist trying what happens in the case of a collision, which is exactly why simulators are preferred in this kind of research. Picture below shows how the demonstration looked like.

More information about this UNH event can be found on the Foster’s Daily Democrat website. I would also like to thank Erika for taking great pictures of this event.
