Leveling Up Higher Ed: Shawnee State Students Create a VR Universe for ODHE

12 P.M. | Saturday

MUC | Room 214

Discover how a student-developed VR project evolved from an idea into the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s fully immersive experience that maps Ohio’s higher education landscape.

In this session, we’ll dive into the development of the Universe of Opportunity, a VR application developed by Justin Meyer '24 and sophomore Luke Austin as student employees of the Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH). You’ll learn how game development principles, UI/UX design, and VR engineering came together to create an interactive tool that helps students explore college campuses virtually.
