IC Immersive, a pillar of the Center for Creative Technology, is the place to begin your exploration in immersive technology. Our lab staff is skilled in guiding students, faculty, and staff through augmented and virtual reality experiences and thinking of ways to incorporate it into teaching and learning.

Virtual reality has practical applications as well. From using active games, such as Beat Saber, to motivate rehabilitation exercises to immersive guided meditation to slow down a racing mind, VR can be used to benefit our lives. If you have ideas for research involving virtual reality, reach out to us via the CCT email (cct@ithaca.edu)

In the past we have offered workshops and demonstration events, such as:

Pop-up demos in academic buildings across campus
Presence at the IT Gaming Tournament
Dedicated drop-in hours for trying VR
Collaboration with Residential Life
Collaboration with faculty in PT, TVR, Education Departments

We are in the process of planning future COVID-safe engagements. Check back shortly for posted Skill Workshops & Credentials.
