Intro to Virtual Reality

Are you interested in Virtual Reality (VR) but don't know where to begin? Come join us in the TTU Libraries' 3D Animation Lab for your intro session, where we will cover the basics of VR (terminology, different systems, etc).

Note/Announcement

Note/Announcement: If you intend to use SteamVR in the VR Lab, it is recommended that you create a free Steam account (at store.steampowered.com/join) prior to doing so. This will reduce any possible 'downtime' in the Lab. It is also recommended that you start in the Meta app (already installed on the computer at each station) and 'step through' the setup process so that the VR headset is properly configured before using it with SteamVR.
