About Us
The purpose of the VR Club at UIUC is to aid club members in learning about and having fun with VR by hosting opportunities to play, explore, and learn. Opportunities we host are broken up into the following 3 categories and overlap as such: VRClub, MiXR, VR eSports. We host open hours weekly to play exciting VR games and meet new people. Our themed open hours feature a new specific VR experience or game every week for everyone to try out. We decide the specific event for open hours weekly so there is always something new for people to try out. MiXR (Meetings involving Extended Reality) is an academic forum hosted every week. We invite academics, researchers, professors, and interested students to join in to discuss topics every week regarding extended reality technology and the metaverse. The discussions range from research presentations to roundtable conversations. The VR Esports team competes in the Collegiate VR Esports League (CVRE League) against colleges across the nation. The team is flexible to include multiple different games, depending on what is offered through CVRE.
