Immersive Stories Lab

Welcome

The Immersive Stories Lab is a unique space among liberal arts colleges that is open to students, faculty, and staff who wish to tell their stories using immersive projection, motion capture, virtual reality, or augmented reality. Computer Science faculty member William Bares started this lab in Fall 2020 and welcomes collaborations.

We have welcomed collaborations from Art, Classics, Dance, Film and Media Studies, Geology, Hispanic Studies, The Sheehan Art Gallery, and Theater.
