Throughout our appearances, we have incorporated extensive feedback on our Virtual Reality experience, TRAPPED: A VR Detective Story, to make it accessible for everyone, especially those that have never even heard of or experienced VR. Educators, school administrators, teachers, parents and children have shared their feedback at our showcases, exhibitions, and lectures, allowing us to improve the experience for you.

May 15-17, 2024 – Laramie, Wyoming. Radical Empathy exhibits at the Second Immersive Reality Training Conference for Wyoming Innovation Partnership.
The three-day event brought together educators from Wyoming community colleges and secondary education institutions, as well as workforce service professionals from across the state to learn about integrating virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) resources.
Created at the request of Gov. Mark Gordon, WIP is a collaboration to align education and workforce development and support innovation, entrepreneurship and research to help drive Wyoming’s economy.
“WIP has grown and flourished beyond what anybody’s wildest imagination thought it could be, largely because people saw the potential,” Gordon says. “It is amazing what can be accomplished when people are asking ‘What can we do?’ instead of ‘What shouldn’t we be doing?’ This program represents the very first of its kind, and the fact that we can provide people with tools to further their educations and reskill themselves will allow Wyoming citizens to continue participating in new opportunities for growth.”
Led by Kyle Summerfield, program manager for the 3D Visualization Center in UW’s School of Energy Resources (SER), the VR subcomponent of the WIP consortial infrastructure program works to expand the capacity of Wyoming’s higher education institutions to integrate VR technology into courses and programs; develop and create VR applications; and coordinate the deployment of these resources to maximize return on investment.
