Texas Tech University is planning a three-year research project led by Muntazar Monsur that will combine extended reality, artificial intelligence and 3D models for outdoor ecology learning. The team aims to make otherwise unseen natural processes visible for middle- and high-school students, with informal learning sessions planned at the Lubbock Memorial Arboretum once the technologies are developed. The source describes this as a funded research effort and does not report completed deployment outcomes, a confirmed device configuration, or an operating start date.
