Accessing MIT.nano Immersion Lab
1. If you intend to use the Immersion Lab for research, academic, or exploratory projects, you will need to submit a description of your proposed project and register as an MIT.nano user:
- For first-time use, submit the quickstart form with a description of your project and the tools in which you are interested. If needed, we can then help guide you through the general MIT.nano user registration.
- Based on your project needs and goals, Immersion Lab staff will work with you to customize a training and facility use plan. If you intend to collect human subject research data that will be used in a publication, you will need submit your approved IRB protocol.
2. If you are interested in non-research use for a group, such as teaching a class using VR, or holding a multimedia performance, submit an inquiry form with a description of your concept. Immersion Lab staff will work with you to customize a facility & tool use plan.
