Menu of Options for Institutional Consideration for Its Innovation and Effectiveness Plan
Options for Institutional Consideration: Area of Focus Ideas, Approaches, Solutions, Best Practices Models, Examples, and Comments
A. X-Reality 1) Request for proposal - VR & AI 1) Request for Proposal a) Consider a request for proposal for classes and student services a) Typical cost ranges: to determine what programs and services are interested and what i. VR headsets run from Google Cardboard ($15 per headset plus a cell technology their preferred software requires phone) to a few in the mid hundreds to thousand-dollar range, and then i) Advantages: to $2500 for Hololens 2 technology. (1) Find champions ii. VR Cameras start at approximately $200 for very simple models. (2) Make it more democratic and get it implemented faster iii. Software costs may be prohibitive in some programs (3) More interest may lead to more student engagement

ii) Disadvantages: b) Outreach - Some local companies have significant interest in XR and may (1) Not centrally controlled sponsor educational applications or demos, for example: (2) Space allocation may be complex i. Boeing - https://www.boeing.com/company/about-bca/washington/737- iii) Consideration: Before deciding on an option, determine which max10-virtual-reality-01-28-19.page software will be used, which in turn will determine the ii. JPL -https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/about/strategic-implementation- technology to be purchased; XR technology is still evolving plan/capabilities/11/ and may not be compatible with all scenarios iii. Video Game Companies in Irvine various companies exist that will be b) Outreach to student services programs as well as instructional considering a move into VR entertainment programs: c) Other considerations: i) XR can support some students with disabilities (enlargement, i. Accessibility will be difficult in XR situations, and not much discussion virtual interaction) has happened in that realm; alternatives should be maintained to ii) Student outreach may want to use technology to interest ensure access to all incoming freshmen 2) Low-cost ubiquitous user interfaces with school purchased experiences 2) Low-cost ubiquitous user interfaces with school purchased examples: equipment a) https://edu.google.com/products/vr-ar/expeditions/?modal_active=none a) Advantages: b) Coursera free 3D video production course i) Student doesn’t need to provide expensive headset https://www.coursera.org/learn/360-vr-video-production ii) Cheap enough to provide to any students who need them c) https://artsandculture.google.com/ (google cardboard $15 each) 3) High tech virtual reality lab examples: iii) Can be used in remote learning, if the planned use supports a) SDSU Virtual Immersive Teaching and Learning (VITaL) it. https://its.sdsu.edu/vital/ b) Disadvantages: b) Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab https://vhil.stanford.edu/ i) More passive - less axes of movement c) CalTech Virtual Reality Workstation https://www.library.caltech.edu/VR ii) Limited or no hand tracking d) Technology is developing, that may make virtual reality more tactile iii) May not be supported by all applications https://www.hcii.cmu.edu/news/2020/new-device-simulates-feel-walls-solid- iv) Requires student to have access to a device that will run the objects-virtual-reality software - cell phone or standalone headset 4) AI Options c) Considerations: equipment checkout procedure needed a) AI and Student Services 3) High tech virtual reality lab: Patterned from SDSU VITaL utilizing i.
