In October, Media Commons and the Thun Library at Berks hosted an Immersive Technology Day. The event was organized by Library Services Specialist, Annamarie Given and Instructional Designer, Glenn Kuntz. The participants were encouraged to put on a Meta Quest headset and immerse themselves in virtual reality apps for everything from meditation to chemistry – and explore different environments through 360º videos. The event was attended by students, faculty and staff.
Faculty, in particular, learned how they could bring these devices to their classes with our Virtual Reality Pilots. To find more information about the pilots and to sign up, please visit our website: https://imex.psu.edu/faculty/.
In addition to availability through pilots, several Meta Quest 2 headsets joined the Berks Media Commons inventory permanently later this Fall.
