VIRTUAL REALITY PROGRAM

When it comes to technological advancements that enhance experiential learning possibilities, virtual reality (VR) stands at the forefront.

The VR component of the Wyoming Innovation Partnership (WIP) is collaboration of all postsecondary institutions that is expanding the capacity to integrate VR technology into courses and programs, develop and create VR applications, and coordinate the deployment of these resources to maximize return on investment.

The VR program started in Phase I, and the initial investment supported two trainings to over 150 attendees from all postsecondary institutions and reached over 2,000 postsecondary and K-12 students. VR has been integrated into 47 courses across a variety of discipline into workforce training for 2,000 employees.  

Phase III’s additional investments are expected to expand the reach of VR to more students and courses, continue faculty training and support, and the development of statewide projects in the areas of nursing and library services.
