GTM XR Lab
Odisha's Most Advanced
XR Research Facility
A full-spectrum Extended Reality complex spanning three dedicated zones — purpose-built for research, development, and immersive experience. The GTM XR Lab is where IFN's XR programme comes to life, giving students access to professional-grade hardware and software from their first semester.
Lab Zones
Experience Zone
A dedicated immersive showcase space equipped with Meta Quest 3, HoloLens 2, and Varjo headsets. Used for application demos, client walkthroughs, and user testing sessions with student-built XR applications.
Thinkers Area
An open ideation and collaboration studio — whiteboards, display walls, and flexible seating for concept mapping, storyboarding, and design critique. Where spatial problems are solved before a single line of code is written.
Development & Testing
High-performance workstations with RTX GPUs running Unity and Unreal Engine. Device profiling rigs, performance benchmarking tools, and SDK integration environments for iterative XR development and testing.
Lab Walkthrough
Industrial Design Studio
From Sketch to
Manufactured Product
A fully-equipped product design studio built for end-to-end workflows. Students move fluidly between concept sketching, parametric CAD, physical prototyping, and material finishing — all in one space, with access to the same tools used in industry design teams worldwide.
Studio Zones
Concept & Sketch Studio
Drafting tables, reference material libraries, and digital drawing tablets for early-stage concept ideation, form exploration, and design communication with stakeholders.
CAD & Digital Design
SolidWorks, Catia, and the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform for parametric modelling, simulation, GD&T, and cloud-based PLM collaboration.
Fabrication & Finishing
FDM and SLA 3D printers, CNC tooling, sheet metal bending equipment, and a hand-finishing area for sanding, painting, and surface treatments.
Blockchain Node Lab
Live Testnets.
Real Deployments.
IFN's Blockchain Lab runs private Ethereum and Hyperledger testnet nodes 24/7, giving students a live environment to deploy smart contracts, run on-chain analytics, and test DeFi protocols — not simulations, but real blockchain infrastructure.
Infrastructure
Testnet Node Cluster
Private Ethereum (Hardhat/Foundry), Avalanche Fuji testnet, and Hyperledger Fabric nodes — always running, accessible to all enrolled students via secure key-pair authentication.
Protocol Dev Workstations
Dedicated development machines with full Ethereum toolchain (Foundry, Hardhat, Ethers.js, Wagmi), smart contract auditing tools, and on-chain monitoring dashboards.
Security Audit Station
Isolated environment for smart contract security research — Slither, Mythril, and manual audit workflows. Students learn to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in production contract code.
