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 XR.
Extended reality (XR): an umbrella term for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality. In XR, digital holographic content is superimposed and anchored onto the real-world environment with varying degrees of transparency and interactability. In mixed reality (MR), users continue to see the people and the room around them, the 3D object(s), and remotely-connected users.
First, it's important to play to the technology's strengths. One of the most impactful features of extended 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.)

Second, it's important for extended 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 3D chalkboard XR 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.

Professor Bolman, the chair of CWRU's Art History Department, was one of the first people in thousands of years to lay eyes upon the painted interior walls of the Red Monastery in Egypt. She led the effort to restore the 5th Century Coptic masterpiece, and then digitally preserved it. Click 'Learn More' to read the full story.
