Advice on designing and equpping a VR sandbox space for faculty and instructional designers

  • 1.  Advice on designing and equpping a VR sandbox space for faculty and instructional designers

    Posted Mar 07, 2025 12:17 PM

    Dear All,

    I have been tasked with creating a design proposal for an XR sandbox/classroom. The purpose is two-fold - a teaching innovation sandbox  where faculty could work with technologists to learn about the capabilities of XR and to be used as an XR classroom for 10-15 students. Please reply off list if are willing to share about your XR space or to recommend someone I should contact.

    Thanks in advance.
