Overview
Virtual Reality is expected to be widely used in education within the next 5 years (2018 NMC Horizon Report). To prepare for that, we organized the VR Hub – the place to start your journey to integrating VR in education. 80% of our community are students, 10% teachers/researchers, and the remaining 10% come from the VR field outside Aalto University. Everyone is welcome to join!
We offer:
- Premises and equipment at the Learning Center in Otaniemi
- Weekly themed training sessions and consultations available to students, teachers, and general public free of charge
- Tutor/service personnel available by appointment, especially to Aalto University teachers
Platforms and tools
HTC Vive, Steam
