Dong-A University Introduces World’s First Responsive XR Platform;
Hands-on Education Reflecting Industry Data to Enhance Competitiveness;
Linked with Glocal University 30; Expected to Foster Semiconductor Talent
AI Article Summary
- MeshLink has signed an agreement with Dong-A University to introduce the XR platform ‘Faraday XR’ to the Department of Semiconductor Engineering.
- It provides an industry-level educational environment where students can practice by directly manipulating actual semiconductor processes in a virtual space.
- We plan to expand the use of the XR platform to university education, customized corporate training, and research fields in the future.
XR (Extended Reality) technology is being deployed in semiconductor professional training programs. With the introduction of ‘Faraday XR,’ developed by Meshlink—an XR platform company that simulates semiconductor manufacturing processes in a virtual environment—into classes at Dong-A University, students are now able to develop practical skills by experiencing actual processes within a virtual setting.
Meshlink announced on the 25th that it signed a business agreement with Dong-A University on the 22nd and will introduce its self-developed ‘Faraday XR’ to the Department of Semiconductors and extracurricular programs.
‘Faraday XR’ is a platform that faithfully replicates actual semiconductor manufacturing lines in a virtual environment. Notably, it is the world’s first to apply responsive XR technology, allowing learners to directly manipulate various process variables depending on the situation. Characterized by incorporating industry-grade process data beyond simple simulation, it enables even introductory students to immerse themselves in understanding and practicing the manufacturing process.
This agreement goes beyond the simple introduction of equipment and aligns with the strengthening of infrastructure in the semiconductor and energy technology sectors currently being pursued under the ‘Glocal University 30’ project. Dong-A University plans to utilize Faraday XR in both curricular and extracurricular education to strengthen practice-oriented education, moving beyond existing theory-centered classes.
“Faraday XR is a platform that goes beyond an educational tool and reflects real data used in the industrial field,” said Ha Jin-soo, CEO of Meshlink. “We hope that through this technology, students will simultaneously build an understanding of the semiconductor industry and practical skills.”
Through this agreement, Meshlink plans to expand the use of its XR platform into the university education market, as well as in customized corporate education and research fields. A company official emphasized, “Our goal is to bridge the gap between industrial and educational sites,” adding that “it can be expanded to various manufacturing processes, not just semiconductors.”
