Virtual Reality Lab Training

US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

The US CDC launches OneLab VR, a multiplayer virtual reality (VR) environment that contains a suite of laboratory training scenarios. It includes a 50,000 square-foot virtual facility designed for clinical and public health laboratory training. The system can be used to conduct live training on a variety of laboratory topics, or learners can take on-demand VR training scenarios. Through OneLab VR, trainers can create their own environment and invite learners to join and communicate with one another in real time. Each VR training scenario is designed to quickly familiarize learners with laboratory equipment, safety, and procedures. The platform is compatible with the Meta Quest headset.
