By the Class of 2028, every student at the University of Miami will have had meaningful experience using and working with XR technology. Through the VR Learning Initiative (VRLI), faculty across disciplines are incorporating virtual and augmented reality to enhance teaching, with ongoing research evaluating its impact.
Our students will be prepared to lead in the next century as they engage with AI and XR not just as technologies, but as essential tools for innovation and impact.
