About This Exhibit

Graduate students in Graphic Design created immersive environments using the Virtual Reality tools of a new platform called Mozilla Hubs. In their Fall 2020 course, Understanding VR, instructor Payod Panda challenged students to experiment with designing in virtual space. Viewers can explore the students' spaces in this exhibition through an interactive installation in the Innovation Studio, or view the spaces online on other devices.

Mozilla Hubs is a web-based platform that allows for the creation of mixed reality spaces where the creators can easily share their virtual spaces, communicate within them and share other content.

The rooms include the work of Liz Chen, Meichun Liu, Rosa McDonald, Brian Sekelsky, Jillian Swaim, Jeff Wilkinson, Amanda Williams, and Jacob Joseph Williams.
