Come explore the SJSU iSchool Virtual Expo (UPDATED LINK COMING SOON), a fully immersive and interactive virtual reality (VR) space that will give you a comprehensive introduction to the San José State University School of Information MLIS Program.

The SJSU iSchool is using browser-based virtual reality platforms (i.e. Spatial, FrameVR) to give students and faculty members an easy way to learn, collaborate, and build highly customizable immersive environments that are accessible on any modern device. While they can be experienced with a VR headset, these environments run entirely in a web browser with no account login or special headset needed. Participants can use voice or text chat, and rooms can hold multiple people at a time. This initiative is part of the iSchool’s commitment to provide an educational experience that is high tech, high touch, and high quality.

How to navigate the space

Click  ”Join Room”. There are embedded instructions to navigate using your mouse and keyboard. Use WASD or the arrow keys to move forward and backward and left and right, and also use your mouse to click and drag to turn yourself around or “teleport” forward.

You may visit a room as a guest (without creating an account) or follow an onscreen prompt to sign in. You can connect via Google or create accounts of your own on different platforms. For example, if you create a ReadyPlayerMe avatar, you can connect that account and use your customized avatar in multiple virtual environments.

• NOTE: Some functionality may be limited when logged in as a guest. You will be able to move around and view a room, but may not have the option to change or rename your avatar, or use some of the communication features.
