With the help of subject matter experts and instructional designers, students collaborate to make high-quality digital learning experiences, touching on every aspect of professional development including design, concept art, 3D modeling, development and management.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our expertise, research and rigorous scientific process we are able to create groundbreaking world-class interactive educational experiences that engage students and help teachers, developed in collaboration with industry and experts in their respective fields.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our initiative to explore further use cases for game techniques and technology, the LIVE Lab has also spearheaded investigations into alternative methods for creating digital twins. We push the boundary of what is possible by allowing digital twins to be integrated with a variety of tools and programs to enable real-time monitoring, assessment and visualization in a process we call reality capture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meet-live-lab-management\">Meet LIVE Lab Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aaron-tebo-thibault\">Aaron \u201cTebo\u201d Thibault<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/web-Image-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Man with arms crossed smiling.\" class=\"wp-image-19929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/web-Image-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/web-Image-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/web-Image-2.jpg 711w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LIVE Lab director; director of games and esports; associate professor of practice&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Email:<\/strong> thibault@tamu.edu&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron &#8220;Tebo&#8221; Thibault is a game developer, educator and researcher who focuses on the innovation of game-based technologies that support learning and deep representations of people, environments and complex interactive scenarios.&nbsp;He was a key leader for the mega-franchise &#8220;Borderlands,&#8221; developed retention techniques and story pipelines for the first massive multiplayer game &#8220;Ultima Online,&#8221; and created the Digital Warrior game-based learning platform for the US Army as part of a joint TAMU-UT Austin &#8220;UXXI&#8221; digital transformation initiative.
