Welcome to Immersive Technologies

Immersive technologies change or expand the physical world by merging it with digital or simulated reality, creating a new world for immersion experiences. For example, Augmented Reality (AR) creates a digital addition, or layer, to your reality and Virtual Reality (VR) is a full immersion into another world or reality, shutting out the physical world.

If you are a first time virtual reality (VR) user, you may want to invite a friend to help with putting on the headphones, getting started with an app or experience, and using the VR controllers. Consider taking a break after 30 minutes of use or if you feel nauseous or uncomfortable from the movement, rotation and space perception while wearing a head-set. It may take a couple of sessions to get used to the immersive experience.

The Library's VR headsets (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift S and Oculus Quest) provide an engaging and exciting fully immersive experience that allows the user to interact with computer-generated objects. 

Library Immersive Technologies are on LRC 4th Floor.

• Stop at the Virtual Reality (VR) Activity Station in the LINC and experience VR using Oculus Rift S.
• Step into the Digital Sandbox where several VR stations are available with HTC VIVE headsets and a Music Workstation is set up for students to create, edit, listen and share music.
• Check out Oculus Quest from the One-Stop desk for an immersive experience anywhere in the library.
