Virtual Reality (VR) is often in the news today, but is it just a gimmick? Is it being used effectively in liberal arts colleges, in museums, and at heritage sites? The three panelists will discuss their experiences, challenges, and hopes for VR within their fields. What kind of careers does VR offer in this area? Then, they will open the floor for questions from the audience.

Speakers: Kaelin Jewell (Barnes Collection, Philadelphia, PA)
Anthony Masinton (Buildings Archaeologist Heritage Sites)
David Neville (Grinnell College, Immersive Experiences Lab, Iowa)
Presider: Jon Chun, Digital Humanities, Kenyon College
