technology.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Attendees were able to see and experience various examples of how Apple technology can be used to transform how students learn and create through immersive technologies.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of those examples featured Dr. Sandy San Miguel, Purdue Veterinary Medicine professor and associate dean for engagement, and Dr. Stephanie Inoue, PVM senior lecturer, demonstrating how the technology can be used to enhance veterinary student learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dimitrios Peroulis, Purdue\u2019s senior vice president for partnerships and online, said collaborating with Apple further extends Purdue\u2019s digital leadership in tech-driven education. \u201cThis next-generation computing and innovation will provide Purdue students the rare opportunity to explore, learn and master skills that once required million-dollar labs or physical access to restricted facilities,\u201d Peroulis said. \u201cWith the Spatial Computing Hub, students will be able to virtually trace the journey of a silicon wafer through chip fabrication or simulate contamination control strategies inside a pharmaceutical facility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purdue is integrating the future-focused technology into classrooms and laboratories to enhance learning, research and collaboration that will enable innovative training and workforce development for critical fields including semiconductor and pharmaceutical manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned as Purdue Veterinary Medicine develops ways to apply the technology to veterinary medical education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/newsroom\/2025\/Q3\/purdue-celebrates-opening-of-spatial-computing-hub\/\" data-type=\"link\"
