we are committed to being part of what the future holds to helping bring that
future alive and so that means we are innovative we are creative we are
helping our students prepare not for the jobs that are available now but the jobs
that will be available when they graduate and will be available 20 30 40
years from now we are on the brink of the next big tech boom and it's going to
be fueled by these new virtual reality and augmented reality technologies the
new frontier isn't on the other side of the country and it's not on the other
side of the planet the next frontier has the ability to live in every living room
across the United States this is sort of the wormhole to the future and these
screens and these computers but they in themselves are nothing if you can't
create for it and communicate through it and that's what we're going to do to be
the first institution in Virginia with majors in virtual reality and augmented
reality we are announcing three of the first majors in virtual reality in the
state of Virginia and also the country we're also announcing Shenandoah
University's relationship with immersive VR education a publicly traded company
out of London and Ireland where we'll be building a virtual platform and we are
very excited to announce a partnership with Shenandoah University as Shenandoah
specializes in live role-playing training which is a perfect match for
our Engage program we're also announcing the the launch of a
technology corridor and virtual reality here in Shenandoah Valley and the
economic drivers that are going to come from that so we are working to position
Shenandoah University and the Winchester region as a virtual reality design hub
as diverse as the film industry is or the theater industry is you have
from designers to directors to writers and producers this new field is going to
have that same diversity of job opportunities so we have degrees that
are built off of a theater degree one that's built off a theater degree that
really focuses on digital stages and simulation and training one degree
that's built off of a filmmaking degree that is more about production and then
one degree that's built off of a computer science degree that is about
programming so each of those skill sets represents different career
opportunities and different personalities for the students that are
drawn to this field this is on the edge this is like the next thing after the
movies after 3d like you know all that this is this is the next entertainment
industry and I want to be here when it starts to see it so close to home it
gives me a feeling that it's going to be huge in the near future just like how
video platforms when it came to going on to the internet became very popular in
the 2010s up to now right now it's it's starting to turn towards AR and VR and
to see that we are getting ahead of the curve is huge I am a conservatory student I'm
a musical theater major I can directly apply what I'm learning about lighting
design and set design and how to draw your audience member in directly into
programming within Unity or a 360 video it's a push towards the future and I
think it's a big step for Shenandoah I think it's a big step for universities
across the globe quite literally it's a it's our future and it's time that we
start looking at our future as the reality of today and I think that that's
what we're doing and I think it's it's powerful so while we are excited to
invite students to participate in these new degrees we're also excited to invite
corporations and entities to come join our students for us to innovate together
for us to define this new marketplace and to build this brand new culture the
opportunities for this are going to change the way we
work play and educate ourselves it's very exciting era that we're moving into
here at Shenandoah we're focusing on the human to human experience inside of
virtual reality and we're innovating utilizing real human beings inside of
avatars so going forward in the future we no longer have limitations such as
distance or even the laws of physics we can create any virtual environment for
training purposes that we want and join people from anywhere around the world by
embodying full-body avatars and having an experience the students who graduate
from this VR/AR program are going to be hot commodity t hey're going to be in
high demand for major industry partners whether it be in the educational realm
the immersive realm whether it be in the arts and entertainment or training
realms but I also imagine a good number of them are going to want do their own
startup businesses since they will have both the skills and the business know how
to launch a company it's going to start becoming everyone's reality so I think
we need to take initiative and start really accepting it and and not putting
so much of a distance between us and the technology it's here it's now and and
it's exciting
