The Public VR Lab

The Public VR Lab is building a Community VR/XR movement and a new field that values accessibility, digital inclusion, and diversity in XR. Recent projects include: Partnering with the United Nations Environmental Programme and Datavized, the Lab co-produced a global air pollution VR experience. The Lab leads a national XR filmmaking collaborative, called Immigration in Full Frame with 15 partners; and created an immersive journalism experience with the Boston Globe. The Lab provides training, equipment, eco-hackathons, and offers fellowships and residencies for artists, storycoders, and media makers in Boston/Brookline, MA, and offers low-cost VR Toolkits for libraries, arts and cultural organizations, educators, and municipalities.

The Lab values and promotes digital inclusivity, accessibility, training, equipment and XR content in the public interest.  Past and current Lab programs in 2019 are listed under our VR Projects & Productions, VR Academy, and Events.

Read about our Public VR Lab, a project of Brookline Interactive Group, and our partnership with the United Nations, this week in the Boston Globe.
