Final Project Step 1: Immersive Working Spaces

Final Project Step 1: Immersive Working Spaces

The information contained within the Library and Museum (LAM) Technology Working Group (TWG) is of significant interest to those interested in seeking educational opportunities through immersive education and the application of this technology to furthering the learning process with participants. Libraries and Museums as we know them have a wealth of information and services that support learning of all kinds. The application and establishment of standards for the use of immersive technology to provide access to information and service sources is the mission of this working group.



Of significant interest are the application "cases" that are discussed in this charter. The first is referred to as the "Immersive Education Study Room" The examples cited and this diagram presenting a visual of how the technology would be applied are very informative particularly to an audience unfamiliar with the concepts of immersive education. In essence, the cases illustrate the ability for "students" to collaborate with each other and instructors via the immersive education study room. This opportunity to collaborate with knowledgeable people who are geographically distributed is very powerful.






The second case that is discussed in the charter is referred to as a Virtual Watershed. This technology provides a virtual learning environment that models an actual environment and doing so brings "reality" to the student. The ability to experience the information and concepts that are being taught greatly enhances the learning experience for students. The environments are not only tailored to the specific environment but to the audience that is learning. There is language technology and cultural accommodations that are immersed in the virtual environment.
