Join us for a unique live tour of Virtual Harvard!
Harvard Club of France invites you to take part in a unique visit of Virtual Harvard. Join us for this unprecedented opportunity to connect live with Rus Gant*, the Director of the Visualization Research Laboratory at Harvard and head of this project, and Nicole Mills**, Director of Language Programs (interim), who applies these techniques to language teaching. The program will be hosted by Denise Silber, Vice-Pres. Communication of HCF.
In the Future of Visualization, Rus Gant, will take us on a tour of some of the 90 buildings that have been scanned across the 14 Schools of Harvard. The 3D visualizations, provide the user with a "rich and deep sense of being there," says Rus.
Next, in Transforming Language Learning through Cultural Immersion, Nicole Mills, will show us how Virtual Reality transports language students to Paris, for immersive, cultural experiences.
