A Newsletter for Grinnell College Faculty & Staff
Welcome to Immersive Computing & the Liberal Arts, your gateway to exploring how immersive technologies—such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 360-degree video—are transforming teaching and research in higher education and at Grinnell College.
Each issue delves into innovative applications of immersive computing in a liberal arts context, showcasing best practices, research opportunities, funding sources, and inspiring use cases from across disciplines.
