What’s the Reality of Virtual Reality in a Modern Research University Library?

Home / Topics / Assessment / What’s the Reality of Virtual Reality in a Modern Research University Library?

November 22, 2016

Carl Grant
Associate Dean, Knowledge Services and Chief Technology Officer
University of Oklahoma

Matt Cook
Emerging Technologies Coordinator
University of Oklahoma

University of Oklahoma Libraries opened their Innovation @ the Edge in January 2016. The laboratory focuses on visualization technologies, with a strong focus on virtual reality (HTC/VIVE and Oculus Rift) in support of research and pedagogy. The laboratory has been very successful and is helping to connect a growing number of the university community to the library, is generating state and national press and attention to our efforts and catching the eye of donors. In this session we’ll share our experiences to date including metrics on usage, what we’ve learned about incorporating the technology into courses across the campus, lessons learned and how we’re adjusting our plans for the future growth of the laboratory as a result.
