With support from the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering (EIE), the Library's Virtual Reality Contest aims to promote the awareness and creative use of virtual reality technology.
The Library is organizing a series of online workshops and webinar for you to pick up skills to develop your own VR application. Your VR can then be submitted into the contest.
The award presentation ceremony for the Virtual Reality contest was held on 27 July 2021 in the i-Space. A total of 6 teams won prizes in the contest.
Congratulations to our winners!
