The presentation, titled Extended Reality Technology in Architecture and Construction, highlighted the application of augmented and virtual reality technologies in architecture and construction management. Our students and faculty had the opportunity to experience augmented reality (AR) via the Wanna Kicks app, and  a virtual reality (VR) walkthrough of CAD projects developed by students from another institution.   ![Image_035-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-5193-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_035-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-5193-PM.jpg?width=1247&height=765&name=Image_035-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-5193-PM.jpg) ![Image_013-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3469-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_013-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3469-PM.jpg?width=1228&height=943&name=Image_013-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3469-PM.jpg) ![Image_020-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-6839-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_020-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-6839-PM.jpg?width=1462&height=917&name=Image_020-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-6839-PM.jpg) ![Image_022-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-2742-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_022-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-2742-PM.jpg?width=1162&height=844&name=Image_022-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-2742-PM.jpg) ![Image_034-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3616-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_034-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3616-PM.jpg?width=1039&height=613&name=Image_034-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3616-PM.jpg) ![Image_003-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9553-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_003-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9553-PM.jpg?width=1248&height=832&name=Image_003-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9553-PM.jpg) ![Image_025-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9084-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_025-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9084-PM.jpg?width=1014&height=772&name=Image_025-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9084-PM.jpg) ![Image_033-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9688-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_033-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9688-PM.jpg?width=1223&height=747&name=Image_033-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9688-PM.jpg) ![Image_019-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9428-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_019-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9428-PM.jpg?width=769&height=1204&name=Image_019-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9428-PM.jpg) ![Image_012-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-2694-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_012-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-2694-PM.jpg?width=1480&height=924&name=Image_012-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-2694-PM.jpg) ![Image_023-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9085-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_023-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9085-PM.jpg?width=1160&height=831&name=Image_023-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9085-PM.jpg) ![Image_040-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9080-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_040-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9080-PM.jpg?width=926&height=726&name=Image_040-Mar-27-2026-12-07-33-9080-PM.jpg) ![Image_029-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3688-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_029-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3688-PM.jpg?width=1196&height=908&name=Image_029-Mar-27-2026-12-07-34-3688-PM.jpg) [![Learn more about our Engineering Technology Department](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/376696/9d3d32fb-b969-49c5-8194-b76ed4f9be26.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/376696/9d3d32fb-b969-49c5-8194-b76ed4f9be26) Topics: [Engineering Technology](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/engineering-technology) ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic A-Z -
