One Button Studio

The One Button Studio is a user-friendly way for creating high-quality videos. Instructors and faculty have used the studios for a range of projects, from creating instructional videos to having their students complete projects ranging from ASL homework presentations to foreign language weather reports, and even music videos.
The studio has green screen technology that allows for users to be recorded in front of PowerPoint presentations, images, or even video. To reserve the OBS, please use the OBS Reservations portal, or stop in 120PH to sign up on the calendar.
After recording, you might consider editing your raw footage in one of the All-in-One studios.

Virtual Reality (VR) Development Studio

The Virtual Reality (VR) Development Studio is equipped with powerful Windows PCs and wired immersive headsets for tech research and app development. VR is a growing field of investigation and iteration in language acquisition, cultural exchange, and gamification. The studio allows faculty and graduate students opportunities to test both hardware and software for ways to incorporate these technologies into their courses. This space, as well as the CLCL's collection of Oculus Quest 2 headsets that can be used in the CLCL space for classroom activities, can assist you in finding new and innovative ways to use virtual reality to bring the world to your students.
