This week in the Couper Library classroom has taught me a lot about the possibilities of virtual reality. I have always been a literature, music, theater person- your stereotypically unemployable liberal arts students – and I never considered myself interested or capable of computer science and technology -based projects. It always seemed like a highly specialized field that I could not break into, and more so, one that I was unable of connecting to my real life and interests.

Our time in these workshops however, has changed my stance slightly. The easy to follow and helpful instructions of Ben as well as the group setting made Virtual Reality programming accessible and comprehensible. The assignment on Tinkercad also built my confidence in terms of virtual based building. I hope that as I work on this final project and progress in the class, I have more educational and interesting experiences with VR and technology that I otherwise wouldn’t have pursued. 🙂
