Learning Resources at LC - VR Learning Corner

LC setup the AR / VR Learning Corner to provide students with a rich learning environment.

Learning Commons has been purchasing brand new VR / AR devices, the HTC Vive collection. The HTC Vive provides virtual reality headsets that use "room scale" tracking technology to allow the user to travel in 3D space and to use handheld controllers with motion tracking to interact with the world.

 

• Vive Focus: There are two stand-alone All-in-one headsets and controllers, Vive Focus, where students can borrow at the Circulation Counter and use at anywhere within the LC.
• Vive Cosmos: There are two other top-class VR+AR headsets and adapters, Vive Cosmos, linked to the VR / AR Learning Corner 's powerful PCs.

 

The equipment starts with some limited educational VR applications where there will be more applications installed by stage.
