Mind-U: Augmented Optics

How do self-driving cars drive and park without hitting anything? The answer is augmented optics: tools and imaging systems that can provide extremely precise measurements for use in a host of hot applications.

On this edition of Mind-U, we'll hear a Northern Illinois University STEM Café talk. Dr. Federico Sciammarella, from NIU’s College of Engineering and Engineering Technology, will present “Augmented Optics:  Micro-Measuring to Make Awesome Technologies Possible.”
