Heinz XR Lab and Lending Library 

Dive into virtual worlds, augment your reality, and discover how XR can enrich your educational experiencesThe XR lab, located in Hamburg Hall A-104, is equipped with Quest 2 and Quest 3 headsets. The lab provides a comprehensive environment for exploring extended reality technologies, featuring a range of resources for VR/AR development, simulation, and immersive experiences. Additionally, it supports collaborative projects and research initiatives, making it an ideal space for both learning and innovation in the field of extended reality. Headsets are available for on-site training and home use.

  • In-person Training: If you’re new to XR, a 30-minute individual session is highly recommended to experience XR technology firsthand. A lab tech will walk you through a tutorial in the lab and explain how to use the headset. Then, check out a headset to continue exploring XR on your own. If you don’t want to check out a headset, you can schedule multiple sessions in the lab. See the tab "Schedule a Demo" to get started.
  • Lending Library: Explore XR on your own. Whether you’re a novice or an advanced user, information and videos are available to guide your explorations. However, we recommend that you schedule a demo before checking out a headset if you're new to XR. See the tab "Borrow a Headset" to get started. 

Use XR for entertainment or join others for meetings, demonstrations, and collaborative projects that unite like-minded enthusiasts and professionals in your field.
