<p>Does anyone here know about this Lab. When my S talks about wanting to do video game development, everyone mentions this Lab, but no one seems to have any indepth knowledge. </p>
<p>I'm wondering if it's more of a showcase or a real development lab.</p>
<p>Is it for developing games or more of how VR is used in other applications?</p>
<p>What kinds of software tools do they have?</p>
<p>What are students doing with it?</p>
<p>Are there classes that utilize the lab or is it more an 'extracurricular' activity?</p>
<p>Well, games can be played there. there are very expensive computers with very big monitors. Three stations with gamecube, playstation 2, and xbox all connected to a digital projector that displays the images on a screen.</p>
<p>People who are taking programming classes have access to it. My friend has his intro to game design course in it. In that course, he learns about elements of a game and even ends up making a game by the end of the semester.</p>
<p>Almost no one uses it for fun because it's a 20 minute walk away from where we live.</p>
<p>I use it for fun every friday at 12:30, myself and like 5 other people. Its a great break in between classes.
Every semesters theres a video game class thats a co-operation with the Comp Sci department the english department Cleveland Institute of Muisc and Cleveland Institute of Art. Its a pretty sweet class.</p>
