MiXR: Dr. Laura Shackelford (5-6 PM) Dr. Laura Shackelford (Anthropology and the Carle Illinois College of Medicine, U of I) joins VR Club to discuss the newest version of her innovative VR project, as described on their website: "VRchaeology teaches archaeological field methods using immersive [VR], allowing all students to learn archaeology without leaving the classroom." The experience is used as a core part of an Illinois course where students jump into a virtual cave site, excavate ancient artifacts, and learn all about field methods by becoming virtual archaeologists!

Demos of the VRchaeology app will follow the talk. (Hosted by the VR Club at UIUC.) VR Club: VR Activity (6-8 PM) Join us for an afternoon of VR-centered activities and experiences. You can learn more about VR Club at UIUC on their website.
