The VR Hub was a 35m² space dedicated to learning about extended reality experiences, whether created at Aalto University, or by the bustling community around the world.
It has closed in the summer of 2024 and will continue in a new form as the Extended Reality Studio in our new Marsio building.
It featured hardware, software and seating with folding tables for up to 20 people for lecture and groupwork types of scenarios.
