Virtual reality is new and improved for library programs this year! We have just purchased 2 new Oculus Meta virtual reality headsets to loan to libraries.
The Oculus Meta Quest 2 is a new VR headset that allows users to play, work out, explore, and learn in a virtual world. The kit includes the headset, controllers and everything else you need. A TV/projector is not included or required, however it does allow everyone in the room to watch and enjoy.
There are 2 different VR kits to choose from: The Oculus Meta Quest 2 or the PlayStation 4. They both can play virtual reality games and videos, however they are a little different. They also have some different games, please check website for current list of games.
Oculus doesn't require a TV or projector (although one can be used so everyone in the room can watch, is easier to set up, and has less cables and more freedom of space.
PlayStation 4 requires a TV or projector, has lots of cables, but can be used just as a gaming console with disc games.
Reservations will be handled on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be confirmed with an email from myself. The kits can be checked out for up to 10 days, but only one kit at a time.
This equipment is intended for in-library use only and only for reservations by library staff members.
If you have any questions, you can leave them in the reservation form or send me an email at epeterson@scls.info.
Check availability and reserve the kits here.
