Popis: The construction of a Virtual Reality and Visualization Center in a public or private Univers ity results in a series of benefits; it allows the students to inter act with modern technology, to learn with different tools. Specific ally, this paper focuses on a Virtual Reality and Visualization Cent er built at the Bachelor in Computer Engineering at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala, this center is called VirtUATx. VirtUA Tx allows building different virtual environment multi-screen considering the head movements through a professional head tracker, a full navigation system by means of recognition of body movement's using Kinect or manual using keyboard. Furthermore, VirtUATx incorporates 3D object manipulation, anaglyphic and active stereoscopy and 3D sound. This Center is used in di fferent courses, such as Research Seminars, Computer Graphics, Research Methodology, and Interaction Human-Computer, but in the future this center will benefit other bachelors .
