Hamilton College literature students built virtual worlds based on novels and stories they read in class. One team re-created scenes from Julio Cortazar’s “The Night Face Up,” a short story in which a man, hospitalized after an accident, drifts between two worlds. (Video by Andrew Groll '19)

Hamilton College Professor Jessica Fellmeth had students in her Survey of Human Anatomy course use virtual reality tools to create videos about explorations of the human body.

Judy Zhou ’19, Hamilton College Instructional Technology Apprentice, found an innovative way to put her 3D technology skills to work. As part of the NY6 Instructional Technology Apprenticeship Program (ITAP), Zhou developed a virtual Walk of Privilege experience using 3D modeling and Virtual Reality technologies. Based on Zhou’s face-to-face experiences with the Walk of Privilege during Residential Advisor training, the virtual experience was created to provide participants with the opportunity to reflect on their own privilege and develop empathy towards others.
