Student Development

In the xREAL Lab, students from multiple disciplines collaborate with faculty and staff on high-impact virtual reality, machine learning, or robotics projects. The xREAL Lab provides an interdisciplinary environment that fosters experiential learning, peer mentorship, and hands-on work. Our students gain programming, 3D design, sound design, video editing, and motion capture skills that enhance their employability while preparing them for client-based work.

The xREAL Lab advertises a limited number of student assistant positions yearly for undergraduate students whose skills complement those available in the Lab. We also welcome student interns and volunteers. Contact Marcy Iniguez if you are interested in working with us.
