VR Use Case Catalogue

Use Case Catalogue Introduction

The Virtual Reality Use Case Catalogue is a constantly growing collection of activities at universities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that deal with the topic of virtual reality in higher education teaching.

The catalogue aims to support new projects, teachers, and interested people...

by helping them to find contacts in different disciplines or in their own department or faculties,
by informing them about activities related to virtual reality in higher education teaching in their disciplines,
to find inspiration for their own plans and projects,
to serve as a networking tool.

We would like to thank all the people, projects and institutions for their kind permission to be included in the Use Case Catalogue!
