Auburn Libraries Extended Reality Space now open by reservation to all campus users

The Extended Reality, or XR, Space in the Innovation & Research Commons, or I&RC, of the Auburn University Libraries is now open by reservation to the campus community.

Equipment currently available in the XR Space includes both Meta Quest 2 units and the HTC Vive Pro Eye, with a range of available titles including the award-winning Beat Saber.

Faculty have been using the XR Space’s technology in research designed to surround students and participants in an immersive learning environment, whether educating patients on a new diagnosis or learning about faraway places by experiencing them through 360-degree video.

Individual students and faculty from all colleges can now reserve time to learn about and use the equipment for work or play. I&RC staff will be on hand to answer questions, assist users with the equipment and make sure they have an overall positive, educational and safe experience.

Reservations may be made online. For more information on all the resources and equipment available at the I&RC, visit its web page.
