Learn the Basics of Virtual Reality Labs & VR STORYTELLING AT THE
PUBLIC VR LAB IN BROOKLINE!For decades, libraries, EDUCATORS AND
COMMUNITY MEDIA CENTERS HAVE PROVIDED ACCESS TO MEDIA-making tools,
equipment, and offered MEDIA LITERACY, youth MEDIA, and STORYTELLING
PROGRAMS, and facilitated community dialogue through local MEDIA,
events, resources, and curriculum.
With new media tools emerging, how might we consider extending our
nonprofit organization's mission of public access into virtual worlds
and into new forms of media?
Well-designed immersive reality (VR, AR, 360, MR=XR) experiences can
invoke a powerful sense of wonder, embodied cognition, and empathy,
and often have a transformational effect on the viewer. Community
media centers, libraries, and arts and cultural orgs across the
country are learning about these new filmmaking techniques and using
XR to create stories and 3D experiences, to train youth and adults,
for local journalism, public safety and health, history, and on social
issues. As a result, staff reports seeing new interest in their local
storytelling, youth and media making programs, increased community
engagement, and new members, volunteers, funders, and partners.
