Brown has a state of the art virtual reality theater called the YURT. You can read about it by clicking here. If you have an idea or the germ of an idea for how to take advantage of the YURT for either teaching or research and would like a tour, then please email ict16.brown@gmail.com with the subject heading “YURT” and a sentence or two about your idea. We will arrange such tours during ICT contingent on the number of requests.
