VORTEX XR Lab is a platform for students and academics to transform learning from 2D to a 360-degree immersive experience. This is made possible by extended reality technology (XR) which consists of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality.
VORTEX XR Lab guides schools and faculties to create immersive solutions, while providing the necessary hardware and training for content creation. Programmes and disciplines also can define their lessons and concepts in a virtual environment, redefining the scale in which the ideas and learning outcomes are viewed and experienced in first person.
VORTEX XR Lab presents the university’s initiative to venture into the metaverse with the goal of hosting a persistent learning environment in virtual reality. Collaborations with leading XR industry experts further strengthen the student’s experience, such as an MOU with Ministry XR for the Interactive Spatial Design degree.
Based on Taylor’s vision for the future in Extended Reality Education and the educational metaverse, an XR lab has been set-up to facilitate all forms of immersive XR output. Immersive VR, AR and MR simulations will revolutionize the learning experience at all levels.

The XROPE programme initiates the early steps of familiarising, interfacing, experiencing and understanding the immersive virtual world and the mixed reality world. This programme is part of the VORTEX introductory initiative as a form of inducting academics and students in exploring XR approaches in teaching and learning as well as exploring content creation and other related needs.
Activities covered under XROPE:
Guides participants to acquire hands-on experience and training using XR-related equipment as well as training to manoeuvre themselves in virtual environments
A series of webinars to introduce, reveal about XR technology in multidisciplinary education and to engage in a dialogue with the academic community concerning the persistent learning metaverse
VORTEX XR Social Media is Designed to increase the online presence of Taylor's University's VORTEX initiative and be a strong reference point for our learning and teaching community to get onboard by using VORTEX content as references
