Virtually Real: How VIP Teams Are Transforming XR at Rochester Institute of Technology
Exploring Extended Reality, Virtual History, and Vision Science Through Collaborative Research

The Rochester Institute of Technology's VIP program supports the XRLive project, where students and faculty collaborate on live extended reality (XR) performances, combining motion capture, avatars, Unreal Engine, and virtual karaoke to push the innovation of immersive theater. Another VIP team recreated a 19th-century cast‑iron printing press in VR, offering a historically accurate, educational simulation of the Kelmscott/Goudy Albion press. Additionally, students are applying VR in vision science, using the VIP model to explore cortical blindness through interactive driving simulations in controlled virtual environments.
