University Park Libraries VR Center Policy

Reservation System

Students who want to use the VR Center need to book the room in advance on LibCal.

The rooms must be booked on LibCal at least 24-hours in advance.
You must complete the module in the booking explaining the VR center rules and usage.

When using the VR Center at the EMS Library, you will need to go the EMS service desk and show your Penn State ID card.

Your booking represents your responsibility for the equipment while it's checked out.
You must let the front desk know you're done before the group leaves; if you don't do so, you will be charged a late fee for the room.

Broken or missing equipment will incur a fine of $25 plus the cost of the equipment that was missing/broken.
Students who violate the rules of the space repeatedly may lose the privilege to use the room.

You're responsible for the equipment while the VR Center is checked out to you.
You will be charged for any lost or damaged equipment while the room is checked out to you.
EMS Library: Don't lose or damage the One Button Studio equipment.
The maximum number of people allowed in the room while someone is using the headset is three (or more with special permission).
Don't leave the room open and unattended while you have it checked out (One member of your group has to be in the space at all times or the students need to lock the room when they leave).
No food or drink is allowed in the space.
You may book the room for up to 2 hours.
Come to us for troubleshooting help with the equipment (do not attempt to fix it yourself).
