VR Headsets: Overview

Himmelfarb has two Quest 2 VR headsets available for loan to our users. The headsets are preloaded with the Medicalholodeck Medical Virtual Reality platform. 

The headsets and software were purchased in Summer 2022 thanks to a grant funded by the Bloedorn Foundation.

• Headsets can be checked out for 4 hours at a time from the Circulation Desk on the library's first floor.
• You will need some unobstructed space to use the headset. The following classrooms in Himmelfarb Library (map) are recommended; remember to check the room schedules posted outside the door to ensure no other groups have reserved the space.
  • Himmelfarb B100A-B100C
  • Himmelfarb 201
  • Himmelfarb 202
  • Himmelfarb 203C
  • Himmelfarb 203G
  • Himmelfarb 303
  • Himmelfarb 305H
  • Additionally, you may be able to use the Levine Lounge (305A) near the BodyViz workstation for VR; however, if the BodyViz station is needed that will take priority.
• If none of the Himmelfarb spaces are available, unoccupied Ross Hall classrooms may provide enough space to use the VR headsets.
