HP Classroom will train future vring and augmented professionals

Created in collaboration with Spika Tech will be located on the Móstoles campus of King Juan Carlos University and presented as a reference laboratory focused on meeting business needs in sectors such as medicine, architecture and aeronautics.

HP Inc., in collaboration with the signing of telecommunications and innovation services Spika Tech, has signed an agreement with King Juan Carlos University (URJC) for the creation of the HP Classroom on the Móstoles campus of the University of Madrid.

The HP Classroom will be dedicated to training future professionals specializing in virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, in addition to serving as an R&D center in pilot projects, linked to these technologies and focused on meeting business needs in sectors such as medicine, architecture and aeronautics.

The growing application of virtual reality and augmented reality in the world of the company, in areas such as facility maintenance, remote incident resolution or template formation, is highlighting the lack of qualified professionals in these technologies. likewise, the implementation of such emerging technologies requires pilot testing that many companies are unable to carry out without external assistance.

"Thanks to the tools available in the HP Classroom, research teams will be able to address highly complex projects and steer their work towards the real demands of companies. This agreement with HP and Spika Tech reinforces the University's role as a transmitter of knowledge towards society", fernando Suarez Bilbao points out, rector of king juan Carlos University.

This new CLASSROOM of the URJC has an initial endowment composed of state-of-the-art teams in virtual reality, such as those that allow the visualization of highly complex models based on the Z840 or Workstation Z640 workstation, as well as those used in the field of Z640 workstation-based medicine with the ZVR virtual reality monitor. The classroom will also have equipment such as Sprout Augmented Reality or the Z440 development system with DreamColor monitors, technology developed by HP that ensures high fidelity in color visualization.

“From today, all Spanish companies and the rest of Europe will have a reference laboratory in which they will be able to carry out their projects, accompanied by the hand of the most qualified professionals and teachers in the virtual reality and augmented sector “, says Rubén Alvarez, Spika Tech administrator.

Founded in 1996, King Juan Carlos University has different infrastructures and facilities in Aranjuez, Alcorcón, Fuenlabrada, Madrid and Móstoles. Located in this municipality of southern Madrid, the Móstoles campus, where the new HP Classroom has been inaugurated, has a number of teaching and research laboratories, in addition to the Technology Support Center.
