VR-Virtual Reality • virtual reality creates immersive, computer-generated environments • virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one • virtual reality creates a totally artificial environment • feel like they are experiencing the simulated reality firsthand, primarily by stimulating their vision and hearing • offers a digital recreation of a real life setting
- 8. Libraries and the Maker Movement- • no more quiet spaces • we now see collaborative, integrated, research driven areas • turning libraries into thinking spaces • Real world problem solving • Thinking skills • Collaboration • No age restriction • Librarians are facilitators • Research driven • Short term projects • Integrated spaces • Low tech, medium tech and high tech
