2015
The Gelardin New Media Center acquired this Oculus Rift Dk2 virtual reality headset in the fall of 2015. Both student newspapers, The Voice and The Hoya, reported on the accessibility of VR in the Library. More than one hundred students and faculty came to the Gelardin New Media Center in 2016 to ride virtual roller coasters, explore a solar system simulator, and experience an immersive riverboat cruise through a placid forest. The New Media Center currently has state-of-the-art VR systems, like the newest Oculus Rift, and 10 tetherless Oculus Quest headsets available for checkout.
