Program Description

Event Details

Get hands-on experience with immersive virtual reality using the Oculus Rift and Google Earth VR.  Fly over and through exotic locations around the world or take a street-level walk through distant cities.  Get answers to any questions you may have about this emerging technology and enjoy an engaging conversation about the future of information and entertainment.

It is recommended that those with no prior VR experience attend a First Contact program before attending other Hands-On with Virtual Reality programs at our library.

Registration for this program is recommended, but not required.  Drop-ins are welcome, but cannot be guaranteed hands-on experience.  Registered participants will be guaranteed hands-on experience on a first-registered, first-served basis.

*Due to manufacturer's health warnings for the use of the Oculus Rift, this program is not open to children under the age of 13.
