Facility & Equipment

The MakerSpace currently includes two types of digital experiences.  

• One is a Viscube M4 CAVE system, a self-contained VR room with immersive virtual reality images projected onto three walls and the floor. Users wear custom goggles that decode the 3D imagery and track the position of the user's head to provide accurate perspective. Multiple users can enter the room to share the experience.  
   
• The second option for MakerSpace users is to try AR and MR using one of the Microsoft HoloLens2 units (5 of them), which are wearable headsets with holographic projectors just in front of the users' eyes. The HoloLens overlays digital objects on the physical world, and allows the user to move freely and interact with the digital objects using hand gestures.  
   
• Recently, we added Meta Oculus Pro, a new MR system with cutting-edge color-passthrough and stereoscopic 3D technology (20 of them)

Rental

The MakerSpace equipment is intended to support career growth in a range of fields like engineering, graphic design, and software development, as well as supporting jobs like electrical and electronic equipment assemblers, industrial machinery mechanics, medical equipment repairers and welders. If you are interested in renting a device for your project, please contact Mr. Matthew Johnson, Makerspace Manager, at c.m.johnson84@csuohio.edu
