Immersion Room

The Immersion Room allows projection of images or information on all four walls of a room at the same time, creating a unique 360º experience for teaching, learning, research, and communications. The experience is similar to a virtual reality experience, but in a group setting. In this room we will simulate environments that give students realistic and immersive experiences for sharing, imagination, and skill development.

Simulation

etv

In simulated environments, Paramedic students can practice stabilizing a patient in a dark alley with sirens and traffic noise blaring. Students who are afraid of public speaking can practice their skills with a simulated audience before having to step in front of a real one. Nursing students can practice attending to patients in a host of emergency environments while Anatomy students can journey through the human body.

Story Telling

etv

Learning through stories that connect people can be experienced in an environment of rich and colorful illustrations, with immersive video and audio to motivate and inspire learners. Early Childhood Educators can discuss and share images related to community life anywhere in the world, while stories around Land Based Education can be shared in prairie surroundings mixed with beautiful images reflecting beliefs and traditions.

Communication

Take meetings and presentations to a new level with live 360° streaming in auditorium settings that enhance collaboration. Employ room-scale data images for brainstorming, reporting, and visualization. Project maps, charts and interactive graphics for communication experiences that are dynamic, powerful, and productive.

“The power of imagination
makes us infinite.”

The primary goal for the construction and operation of Emerging Media and Production’s Immersion Room is to create a new teaching and learning environment that will provide opportunities for elevating student success. In addition, this project presents opportunities to develop and contribute to partnerships that align with RRC Polytech’s Strategic Themes and Goals.

Risk and Crisis Training
A risk-free way to experience hazardous situations.

Increase Engagement
Authentic experiences are effectively re-created.

Improve Safety
Carry out Health & Safety inductions without having to travel to the site every time.

Prototyping and Design
Create, visualize and experience designs and interactions as part of the development process.

Health Care and Well Being
Create environments that help to alleviate phobias and anxiety.

Reduce costs
Avoid expensive real-life training scenarios or trips to faraway locations.

The Immersion Room will allow for the creation of student experiences that are intellectually rigorous and experientially robust. It will allow for simulations in a non-risk environment that ensure students are ready for the situations and scenarios they will encounter in the workplace.
