Immersive Construction (ICon) Lab

The Immersive Construction (ICon) Lab contains an affordable immersive projection display which allows 3D and 4D models to be displayed in stereo at full scale. The purpose of the lab is to facilitate the effective use of virtual reality (VR) techniques in design, construction and other disciplines. Our aim is to develop low cost, easy to use and easy to administer VR systems to facilitate their deployment in the Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC) Industry and throughout engineering and architectural academic programs.

The ICon Lab is one of two immersive display labs at Penn State housed within the Architectural Engineering and Architecture Departments with the Immersive Environments Lab as a companion facility. These facilities provide the core infrastructure for our advanced visualization research related to the design and adoption of Virtual Reality in education and the AEC industry.

The ICon Lab is located in room 306 Engineering Unit C. The facility is open 24/7 for Architectural Engineering and other students that require access to the lab. For information regarding the use of the facility, please see the ICon User's Instructions.
