Review the terms and conditions before borrowing XR equipment. Sign up using the link at the bottom of this page. 

Current Schedule 

Headsets BORROWED on FRIDAY (12:30 pm – 1:30 pm) must be RETURNED on THURSDAY (12:30 pm – 1:30 pm).

The Heinz XR Lab and Lending Library has limited options to borrow and return headsets. Currently, headsets may be borrowed only on Fridays from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, and they must be returned the following Thursday from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. These set hours allow the lab technician to manage equipment during the lunch break. As the lab grows, we will add more options. We appreciate your patience as we expand our staff and services

  • ●  Please allow 1 day for the lab technician to respond to your request. 

Requirements to Borrow Equipment:

1
You must present your CMU ID and confirm your Heinz affiliation when picking up the equipment.
2
Once the headset and accessories (e.g., controllers, flex strap, charging cable/plug, case) are in your possession, you are responsible for them. 
3
To return your headset, you must complete the online RETURN FORM, preferably the night before. Filling it out in the lab delays the return process for everyone. You are responsible for verifying the headset’s condition with the lab tech, and the form is part of this process. If you drop off the headset and leave before it is inspected, you cannot dispute any charges for damaged or lost items that are charged to your account. 

Late Fee and Replacement Costs:
If the equipment is not returned on time, a late fee of $35 per day will be charged to your student account. No exceptions. If the headset is lost or damaged, you will be charged the full replacement cost since repairs are not possible. Missing or damaged accessories will also be charged. Prices may change, but the approximate costs are listed below. Late returns or damaged items prevent others from borrowing the equipment.

  • Carrying case: $40

  • Controllers (pair): $150

  • Adjustable strap (Elite): $40

  • Headset: $499 (512 GB)

  • Charging plug and cable: $15
