The Huskieverse is NIU’s hub for extended reality projects and research! Through our programs, we aim to bring extended reality experiences to both students and faculty. From our mental health-focused Mindful Moments, which helps students relax and become more aware of themselves, to our interdisciplinary learning lab Vespa-mode, modeled after an indie game studio, where we are actively developing a simulation.
If you’re interested in trying one of our VR experiences, head over to our Booking page. If you’ve never experienced VR before, or if it’s been a while, we kindly ask you to schedule a “First Steps” session for a primer on how our headsets work.
To learn more about our flagship project Vespa-mode, fill out this interest form and we’ll be in touch! Or drop by the studio on a Friday—it’s Vespa day at the studio, and you can see what we do!
