Impulse: Playing with Reality, Arts Week 2025

As part of Birkbeck's Arts Week 2025, staff, students and guests were immersed in Impulse: Playing with Reality — a powerful mixed reality experience exploring life with ADHD. Hosted by the Immersive Learning Centre, it showcased how VR can deepen empathy and transform learning.

Artec Leo and Spider 2

The Artec Leo and Spider 2 are high-performance 3D scanners widely used across industries to capture detailed, full-colour models — from large environments to finely detailed objects. Recently acquired by the Immersive Learning team, these scanners will support innovative approaches to teaching, research, and design at Birkbeck. The team received expert-led training from Alex Chung from Central Scanning, gaining hands-on insight into how these tools can enhance interactive learning experiences.
