About This Exhibit

The 360° virtual reality (VR) videos in this exhibit were created by faculty, students, and staff at NC State, and represent our innovative approach to education. VR allows new ways of learning and interacting with information by immersing the viewer in realistic virtual environments. The NC State University Libraries supports VR and augmented reality (AR) through our technology lending service, workshops & events, and three learning spaces: the VR Studio at Hill Library, the VR Usability Lab at Hunt Library, and the VR Pod at the Design Library. Learn more about VR at the Libraries.

This walk-up VR experience features the projects on Honey Bee Management, Organic Chemistry, Longleaf Pine Restoration, Art2Wear, KrispyKreme Challenge.

Many thanks to our partners in NC State's DELTA (Distance Education & Learning Technology Applications) group for their partnership on this project.
