LGBTQ+ VR Museum Open House
Join us for the LGBTQ+ VR Museum Open House hosted by the Digital Studies Institute and the Just XR Futures Lab on Oct. 7 and Oct. 10, 2024.
The LGBTQ+ VR Museum was created by DiVRse Technologies, a world-leading immersive studio that produces ground-breaking digital experiences using VR and XR technologies.
Disrupting historical gatekeeping and erasure of marginalized voices, DiVRse Technologies uses VR to share stories and artifacts curated directly from the queer community. The LGBTQ+ community globally contributed dozens of personal items scanned into 3D and 2D artworks, that contextualize their lived experiences. Layers of interactive content appear and programmatically respond to visitors' emotions in real-time as they explore the VR museum.
All are welcome. The LGBTQ+ VR Museum was designed to be accessible, so people of all abilities can experience the exhibits, artifacts, and stories.

If you anticipate needing additional accommodations to participate or have any questions, please email Eric Mancini at dsi-administration@umich.edu.
