Virtual reality is a fully immersive experience that has a wide variety of purposes, including great educational benefit. This allows for a novel learning experience that is both satisfying and engaging. The ATLAS program has created a catalog of virtual reality hardware and software, along with other equipment such as headsets and controllers. These technologies are available to be loaned out through the ATLAS scheduler, which you can find on this website!
