Come explore how we develop and use Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) for research and teaching at UC Davis. Make mountains in our AR Sandbox and see what happens when it rains – or a volcano explodes (ages 6+). Then go on a virtual hike of your landscape in VR (ages 13+). Learn about coding and coordinates as you draw and color alongside our team of data scientists (all ages). Ask us the hard questions like what are data scientists doing in a library?!

The DataLab demonstrates its virtual reality software for research during Picnic Day on April 15, 2023. About DataLab’s immersive VR for research data and collaboration

If you’re affiliated with UC Davis, check out our Take Our Children to Work Day event, which reprises these exhibits in a quieter and more relaxed environment.
