CSU Spur Virtual Reality Facilitator

Description: While visitors can’t always physically engage with a resource or material or visit an exotic destination, virtual reality can provide a unique and immersive way to get “hands on” and travel. Virtual reality facilitators support visitors understand how to use the technology and begin to “manipulate” the world around them. Virtual reality facilitators will become familiar with the technology and guide visitors through a brief interactive experience with headsets and selected virtual reality experiences.
