Mixed Reality Lab
Touro University’s Mixed Reality Lab can help you harness the power of mixed reality. Mixed reality can bridge the gap between physical and digital worlds, and we have a special focus on transforming education and learning. In the lab, faculty can explore how virtual and augmented realities can enhance engagement, deepen understanding, and unlock new ways of experiencing information across disciplines. By creating immersive educational simulations, interactive AR tools, and collaborative virtual spaces, the lab aims to make learning more accessible, inclusive, and impactful. Engagement opportunities span fields including but not limited to medicine, healthcare, business, counseling, literature, biology, and chemistry, all driven by a commitment to fostering a future where mixed reality becomes an invaluable tool in classrooms and training environments. Through innovation and partnership, mixed reality can be an effective catalyst for positive, lasting change in education and beyond.
