Jensen discussed the technologies that Rooom provides, showcasing the versatility of 3D interactive experiences when used for businesses and marketing, especially in a post-COVID-19 and online-shopping-centered world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jensen emphasized the interactivity of virtual reality and immersive web-based platforms. He shared how some companies choose to hold meetings in virtual reality rather than on Zoom, and how virtual storefronts are becoming a more common form of shopping, especially for immunocompromised people or people with disabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the presentation, Jensen worked with student teams to give feedback on their semester-long projects. Guided by Edgar Rojas-Mu\u00f1oz, assistant professor, students have been assigned to faculty advisers in other areas of the university to create virtual reality research projects, ranging from nursing to engineering to the humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rojas-Mu\u00f1oz said the students were interested in how immersive technologies are being used \u201cin the real world,\u201d and that it encouraged them to think outside the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey saw a lot of opportunities to use the knowledge they are receiving in the visualization program in a context that differs from a traditional animation approach,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile the students recognized that a lot of improvements are required before immersive technologies are ready to be used in our day-to-day, they were happy to be delving into these topics. Learning about virtual reality is elevating their skillset in preparation for a highly competitive and modernized world.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Casey-Jensen-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A man facing the camera view sits at a table opposite two college students as they discuss virtual reality projects.\" class=\"wp-image-15741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Casey-Jensen-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Casey-Jensen-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Casey-Jensen-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Casey-Jensen-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pvfa.tamu.edu\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Casey-Jensen-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Casey Jensen emphasized the interactivity of virtual reality and immersive web-based platforms in his recent visit.
