The Library Makerspace invites you to a fun, beginner-friendly session where you can try out virtual reality for yourself! We’ll be exploring Rec Room, a free VR social platform full of games, activities, and creative spaces. Whether you want to play, explore, or just see what VR is all about, this is the perfect place to start. 

At this session, you will learn: 

  • The basics of using a Meta Quest 2 VR headset – Get familiar with the hardware and how to navigate virtual environments. 

  • How Rec Room works – Explore games, social rooms, and creative tools in one of the most popular free VR platforms. 

  • How to move, interact, and have fun in virtual space – Learn the controls, join in activities, and hang out with others in a shared virtual world. 

We do not recommend this workshop to users who may experience difficulty with motion sickness or dizziness.
