- Create a VR/AR classroom where teachers can bring their classes for demonstrations, labs, and more hands-on lessons.
- Formulate and teach at least one semester long class about VR/AR and its applications in their future careers.
- Discover other avenues to implement AR/VR, such as virtual campus tours, virtual marketing materials, potential research opportunities, etc.
- Provide a professional workshop where faculty and other USHE institutions can learn more about VR/AR and will develop curriculum for their current classes
- Establish an VR/AR club on campus to create opportunities for students to take advantage of our hardware and software.
- Join the national and international conversation on VR/AR by hosting, attending and presenting at tech conferences.
