The National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program awarded Virginia Tech a $484,980 project grant from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028. The grant supports research to develop "intelligent augmented reality (AR)" systems that can automatically adapt AR glass interfaces based on real-time contextual information. Through a series of studies in lab and manufacturing settings, the project aims to establish best practices for designing effective AR interfaces that provide the right information at the right time for industrial inspection and maintenance tasks. The research results are expected to inform the application of intelligent AR technology in other dynamic, complex domains such as construction, military, and healthcare.
