Augmented Reality Visits the TLC

The Stephs try out virtual reality

Our TLC lab staff are always working on the cutting edge.  I had an opportunity to see that firsthand this past week when Brad Henry, Director of Technology for eStudent Services at OSU, presented Google Glass and other wearable technology for consideration in simulations.  Ask our fabulous creative team, Stephanie Justice and Stephanie Burlingame, what they are up to lately.  This amazing duo never stops exploring strategies to bring simulations closer to reality!
