About

Sushanta Mohan Rakshit is a researcher at the intersection of immersive technologies and engineering education, with a primary focus on virtual reality (VR), teleoperation, and human-computer interaction. His most cited work, "Fusion of VR and teleoperation for innovative near-presence laboratory experience in engineering education" (2017, 9 citations), introduces a groundbreaking framework that merges VR environments with real-time teleoperation to create a "near-presence" laboratory experience for distance learners. This contribution addresses a critical gap in online education by enabling students to remotely manipulate physical lab equipment through VR interfaces, thereby preserving hands-on learning outcomes in engineering curricula. Rakshit’s research has been instrumental in demonstrating how immersive technologies can bridge the gap between theoretical instruction and practical application, particularly in resource-constrained or geographically dispersed educational settings. His work is recognized for its practical impact on pedagogical innovation, offering a scalable solution for institutions seeking to enhance remote laboratory accessibility. Beyond this flagship paper, Rakshit continues to explore the integration of haptic feedback and collaborative VR systems, aiming to further refine the fidelity of remote experimentation. His contributions have been cited in discussions on the future of digital education, positioning him as a thoughtful voice in the evolution of experiential learning technologies.
