IMMERSIVE ROOM

Horizon College in Purmerend is the first MBO in the Netherlands to have a virtual reality room: an immersive room with walls featuring touch screens and interactive moving images on all walls. This room offers a lot of cool possibilities and makes it possible to train practical situations in a realistic way. This immersive room was developed in cooperation with PurmerValley.

We will open the immersive room on 2 June with an extensive programme. Register here for the opening.
