The
Institute for the Exploration of Virtual Realities, i.e.VR,
is a newly formed institute within the University
Theatre and the Department of Theatre & Film at the University
of Kansas. Its goal is to explore the uses of virtual reality and related
technologies. While the primary application currently under study is theatre
production and performance, the possibility of exploring VR applications
in other fields is also being actively pursued.
