The DOIT Marketing and Communications team had fun the past couple of days showing Bobcats virtual reality (VR) in Albert B. Alkek Library! Thanks to all who came out. We hope you had fun jumping into whole other worlds.
Bobcats had the opportunity to ride a virtual roller coaster, fight off invaders in a game of Space Battle, and those brave enough played a game called Face Your Fears.
Lots of fun happening at @alkeklibrary right now! Some are riding roller coasters, others trying out some scary games. Come try VR, we’ll be here until noon! #txst pic.twitter.com/1Ib9LU9zFZ

For the majority of Bobcats, this was their first time trying out VR. Many were amazed by how realistic everything felt. Here’s what Bobcats had to say about their first experience with VR.
