Join us for this FREE event on Thursday, April 24, 2024, from 2:30 PM – 6:00 PM in Slavin 112 (The Fishbowl)
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore VR headsets, immerse themselves in virtual experiences, and engage in discussions on the philosophical implications of augmented and virtual realities. How does VR challenge our perception of reality? What does it mean to “exist” in a digital world? Let’s explore these thought-provoking questions together!
