Virtual Reality Program

The Medical Library has piloted a Virtual Reality program to offer our students Virtual Reality experiences in our collaborative study room. The aim of the program is to offer learning experiences to support curriculum in addition to offering apps to use for a study break that are short, but fun to do when a student would like to get away from their studies for a few minutes. We have also added relaxation apps so that students can de-stress during their studies.

The Quest 2 system can be used alone or in a group setting by casting the session to one of our TV's in the collaborative study room. Another option is to checkout the key for the reflection room on the 4th floor of Kresge library from the circulation desk to enjoy more space in a comfortable setting.
