SDE

SDE 4- First 5G Net Zero Building

NUS signed MOU with StarHub in Dec 2019 to launch first 5G net zero building. The 5G consumer equipment are installed in Jan 2020. NUS got IMDA trial license in Feb 2020 and now have a functional 5G lab. The 5G AR/VR/BIM Lab is housed in SDE4 to explore and research on AR, VR , BIM, Robotics,Video Analytics, IoT, Digital Twin using 5G network, supported by advanced equipment and devices.

Equipment and Devices

DRONE

The 5G-XR Lab has multiple drones. These drones are used to conduct research on use of drone for various building inspection and facilities management activities.

VR DEVICES

The 5G AR/VR/BIM Lab has a combination of various VR devices to cater to different research needs. The lab has XRSPACE VR headsets which is the first 5G network enabled VR headset.The lab also have HTC Vive wired devices, HTC vive cosmos (wireless devices), Vive Focus Plus (All-in-one devices), and Occulus Quest2. All the VR devices are supported by independently allocated high powered customized individual PCs/Laptops to each devices. These devices are used in teaching students, research and development of customized VR applications for pedagogical purpose and research.

MR DEVICES

The 5G  Lab has Hololens 2 MR devices to cater to different research needs. These devices are used in teaching students, research and development of customized MR applications for pedagogical purpose and research. In our future research, we are planning to connect the MR device with our custom developed Digital Twin.

AR DEVICES

The 5G AR/VR/BIM Lab dedicated Handheld devices like iPads, Android Pads, 5G hand-phones for AR development and research. These devices are used to teach students augmented reality using BIM. Students learn how to develop augmented reality 3Ds using 2D plans

LIDAR

The 5G AR/VR/BIM Lab has multiple LIDAR devices. Extensive research using LIDAR is done in the lab for AI based automatic conversion of existing building to BIM, BIM for FM and BIM for productivity enhancement and reducing manpower.
