Create a narrative stories on parts of Oral Roberts' life.

Recreate some of Oral Roberts' Tent Meetings in virtual reality.

- Provides an immersive experience for anyone, globally.
- Provides an immersive historical record.

Setup a dedicated VR/AR space in the Aerobic Center.

- Beneficial to health fitness and student exercise using immersive learning technologies (ILT), such as Beatsaver
- Available for VR course integration and individual student immersion. (Gen Ed 150 and 155; Anatomy and Physiology, basic and advanced courses)
- Publish article on the process, pros & cons.

Abstract excerpt:

"Observers did not experience simulator sickness when the exposure to Virtual Reality was short and did not induce excessive amounts of vection compared to the other devices the Oculus Rift elicited a greater degree of immersivity. Thus our investigation suggests that the Oculus Rift head-mounted-display is a potentially powerful tool for a wide array of basic research and clinical applications."
