The Virtual Learning Center (VLC) provides a space for faculty and student interaction with virtual content that enhances learning. Faculty and students can explore and gain a better understanding of this emerging technology with Vive Pro Eye Headsets and a variety of games and experiences.

Virtual Reality is the perception of being physically present in a non-physical world. In other words, it is transporting you to a different, virtual reality. 

The VLC is located on the third floor of the library and offers the following:

• 16 Dell desktop computers: 3 standing and 13 sitting spaces
• 13 wired Vive Pro Eye Virtual Reality headsets
• 3 wireless Vive Pro Eye Virtual Reality headsets
• Steam - Virtual Reality software. Offers experiences and games.
• Unity - Software that allows Virtual Reality builds and customization. Users must provide their own Unity login.
