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. 🌎

Il Visualizzatore Storie Instagram è uno strumento facile da usare che ti permette di guardare e salvare le storie, video, foto o IGTV di Instagram in modo segreto. Con questo servizio puoi scaricare contenuti e goderteli offline ogni volta che vuoi. Se trovi qualcosa di interessante su Instagram che vorresti rivedere più tardi o vuoi vedere le storie restando anonimo, il nostro Visualizzatore è perfetto per te. Anonstories offre una soluzione eccellente per mantenere la tua identità nascosta. Instagram ha lanciato per la prima volta la funzionalità Storie nell'agosto 2023, che è stata rapidamente adottata da altre piattaforme per il suo formato coinvolgente e tempestivo. Le storie permettono agli utenti di condividere aggiornamenti rapidi, che siano foto, video o selfie, arricchiti con testo, emoji o filtri, e sono visibili per solo 24 ore. Questo limite di tempo crea un forte coinvolgimento rispetto ai post normali. Oggi, le storie sono uno dei modi più popolari per connettersi e comunicare sui social media. Tuttavia, quando guardi una storia, il creatore può vedere il tuo nome nella loro lista di visualizzatori, il che potrebbe essere un problema per la privacy. E se desiderassi navigare tra le storie senza essere notato? Ecco dove Anonstories diventa utile. Ti consente di guardare contenuti pubblici su Instagram senza rivelare la tua identità. Basta inserire il nome utente del profilo che ti interessa e lo strumento mostrerà le sue ultime storie. Funzionalità del Visualizzatore Anonstories: - Navigazione Anonima: Guarda le storie senza apparire nella lista di visualizzazione. - Nessun Account Necessario: Visualizza contenuti pubblici senza registrarti su Instagram. - Download dei Contenuti: Salva qualsiasi contenuto delle storie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo per un uso offline. - Guarda i Punti Salienti: Accedi ai punti salienti di Instagram, anche oltre la finestra di 24 ore. - Monitoraggio dei Repost: Tieni traccia dei repost o dei livelli di interazione nelle storie per i profili personali. Limitazioni: - Questo strumento funziona solo con account pubblici; gli account privati restano inaccessibili. Vantaggi: - Privacy: Guarda qualsiasi contenuto su Instagram senza essere notato. - Semplice e Facile: Nessuna installazione di app o registrazione richiesta. - Strumenti Esclusivi: Scarica e gestisci contenuti in modi che Instagram non offre.
Segui gli aggiornamenti di Instagram discretamente proteggendo la tua privacy e restando anonimo.
Guarda profili e foto in modo anonimo facilmente usando il Visualizzatore di profili privati.
Questo strumento gratuito ti permette di visualizzare le storie di Instagram in modo anonimo, garantendo che la tua attività rimanga nascosta dall'utente che carica la storia.
Anonstories consente agli utenti di guardare le storie di Instagram senza avvisare il creatore.
Funziona senza problemi su iOS, Android, Windows, macOS e browser moderni come Chrome e Safari.
Garantisce una navigazione sicura e anonima senza richiedere credenziali di accesso.
Gli utenti possono visualizzare storie pubbliche semplicemente inserendo un nome utente—nessun account richiesto.
Scarica foto (JPEG) e video (MP4) facilmente.
Il servizio è gratuito.
Il contenuto degli account privati è accessibile solo ai follower.
I file sono destinati solo a uso personale o educativo e devono rispettare le normative sul copyright.
