Step inside UCL’s VR (Virtual Reality) Lab, marking 30 years of immersive research.
Our VR Club offers a chance to explore virtual reality firsthand from historic headsets to exploring the VR CAVE (one of the first in the UK) to the latest technologies, all within one of the department’s specialist facilities.
The club meets every third Wednesday of the month.
In this Reel, Professor Anthony Steed talks us through some of the VR headsets through the ages.
Interested in joining? The VR Club is open to UCL and non-UCL visitors. Contact Professor Anthony Steed: a.steed@ucl.ac.uk or Professor David Swapp: d.swapp@ucl.ac.uk

Our Vice Dean for Education, Professor Liz Jones, will be in China over the next few days to meet our future students.
If you’re an Engineering offer holder, then join Professor Jones in Beijing (19 April), Chengdu (23 April), Wuhan (25 April) or Shanghai (26 April) to learn more about studying at UCL, the Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the opportunities available to our students.
We look forward to connecting with students in person and discussing their future studies.

On this day in 1976, Queen Elizabeth II sent her first email using ARPANET, becoming the first monarch to do so.
The moment was closely connected to UCL.
Professor Peter Kirstein, founder of UCL Computer Science, helped bring ARPANET to Europe, enabled the connection used in the demonstration, and captured the iconic photograph.
50 years on, it remains an early milestone in the history of global networking.

Have you heard about the tunnels under UCL (Bloomsbury campus)?
Do you know more about their original use?
📰 From a 2005 Times Higher Education article:
“A series of Edwardian tunnels links buildings at the western end of University College London's campus. One connects the department of anatomy with the Rockefeller building on the opposite side of Gower Street.
This twisting route is still used by staff and students. More passageways, now blocked or barred by locked doors, ran to other clinical departments in University College Hospital.
Like many medical sites, the tunnels were intended to enable patients - and bodies - to be transferred between buildings in private.
The 1956 film The Man Who Never Was , which told the story of a British attempt to mislead the Germans about continental invasion plans, is reputed to have been filmed in the subterranean complex.”
We discovered many online discussions and articles about tunnels under universities in the UK and around the world. It seems it is a global phenomenon. 🌎
