Building on its commitment to the innovative use of cutting-edge technology, The New School is teaming up with NYC Media Lab, the New York City Mayor’s Office, and New York City universities to launch the first publicly-funded virtual reality and augmented reality (VR/AR) lab in the country. … The VR/AR lab (located in NYU Tandon School of Engineering), which is expected to open in late 2017, will occupy approximately 15,000 square feet of space in Brooklyn Navy Yard and will partner with CUNY Lehman College’s VR/AR Training Academy and Development Lab in Bronx to connect New Yorkers with VR/AR jobs.
