HoloUniversity
Classroom
The new HoloUniversity Classroom is now open at the Freedman Center Collaborative Commons at Kelvin Smith Library.
There are thirty-two dedicated HoloLens devices available in the HoloUniversity Classroom, as well as training for faculty and students by [U]Tech support team members.

Take advantage of CWRU's homegrown holographic content, including HoloAnatomy® Software Suite, Antikythera Mechanism, Red Monastery, as well as other applications on the HoloLens App Store.

Here are some thoughts on the benefits of mixed reality as a teaching tool, and how to make a great class in MR.
First, it's important to play to the technology's strengths. One of the most impactful features of mixed reality is its capacity to show the invisible (e.g., the structure of an atom, the subterranean environment of the Earth, or a building located thousands of miles away.)
![electromagnetism electromagnetism](https://interactivecommons.org/wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/electromagnetism-panorama-1ae54205308e85dae3d64303d4645939-6266d8747f48f.png)
Professor Mike Martens using mixed reality to teach electromagnetism.
Second, it's important for mixed reality classes to be shared experiences, where everyone sees the same thing in the same place at the same time. This allows for active and natural collaboration, discussion, and discovery — just like in a great, traditional learning environment.

Third, this is an Active Learning tool, not a 3-D chalkboard. Mixed reality classes work best when students and instructors are together, standing up and moving around to explore the holograms’ breadth, depth, relationships, and interiors. Chairs should be pushed aside.
