Virtual Reality

The Virtual Reality (VR) tools available include Oculus Quest headsets, HTC Vive headsets with eye tracking, and 3D 360 Cameras for VR content creation. The VR lab can accommodate up to 10 VR users at a time depending on the specific VR activities space requirements.  Appointments for training, demonstrations, or VR content viewing sessions or general VR inquiries can be made by emailing [email protected].   

Lightboard

The Lightboard is a glass screen to make lecture recordings instead of a chalkboard or  whiteboard. It can be used to create instructional videos for your online and face-to-face courses. Video and audio are recorded while you teach your lesson on the Lightboard, much like you would do on a whiteboard in class. An Instructional Designer can set up the equipment and assist with recording, editing, and posting of completed recordings. Please note that this service is available by appointment only. Appointments can be made by emailing [email protected].
