Headsets and Loans

UWTSD provides a VR headset loan service, ensuring all staff and students have access to virtual reality for teaching, learning, and research. With over 60+ Meta Quest 2 headsets, we support a wide range of academic and professional use cases.

Headsets are available for loan for all staff and students across all campuses at UWTSD. You can access the headsets and quantities in several ways:

  • Individually – for personal study, experimentation, or research.
  • Groups of five – ideal for small projects, collaborative sessions.
  • Custom quantities – for lectures, workshops, or events (subject to availability).

To support users in getting started, we offer demonstrations and workshops that introduce you to the fundamentals of using VR headsets, best practices, and practical applications in an educational setting.
