Meet Dr. George Lecakes, a leader in immersive technology, AI, and education innovation. He currently serves as the Director of Immersive Technology & Learning at Rowan University, where he leads the university-wide rollout of Dreamscape Learn, a groundbreaking VR education platform that brings immersive, interactive learning to the classroom at scale. In parallel, he holds the role of Associate Director for Virtual Reality at MAVRC (Machine & Artificial Intelligence & Virtual Reality Center), where he guides strategic VR initiatives spanning defense, healthcare, education, and synthetic data generation.

As an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Dr. Lecakes teaches courses in Android Platform Development, Virtual Reality Systems, and Digital Image Processing, mentoring students through hands-on, multidisciplinary projects that blend engineering, computer graphics, and AI.

His current focus is on integrating Generative AI into the VR content pipeline—creating intelligent, adaptive virtual experiences that respond to learner behavior, narrative structure, and real-time input. His portfolio includes everything from NASA rocket engine simulations and VR-based autism training tools, to synthetic drone datasets for AI model training, to large-scale city planning visualizations for major public events.

Dr. Lecakes also shares his expertise with the broader community through his YouTube channel, Glecakes Projects, where he demystifies VR development, game design, and AI techniques for developers, students, and educators.

Explore the future of immersive learning and intelligent systems with Dr. Lecakes—where virtual reality becomes a powerful tool for solving real-world problems.
