The Mansfield Library has two Microsoft HoloLens 2 units for exploration and collaboration. These headsets showcase the AR/MX world of immersive technology. Unlike Virtual Reality, this technology aims to add digital elements to the existing world instead of creating a different world.
This technology projects imagery into your field of view while you still see the real world around you. You interact with these holograms as if they are physical, made possible by the variety of sensors, spatial 3D mapping, and the transparent display technology.
Requests to experienced AR/MX technology or for use of the equipment for academic / teaching / research needs should be directed to library.vr@umontana.edu.
