Implications for Campus IT & Infrastructure
[ 72 ]
Early-Adopter Students Campus IT and Infrastructure
• Entertainment and Curiosity - early drivers
• Residence Halls – VR rooms, physical safety
• Classroom – Probably limited initial applications, but students may drive faculty curiosity and adoption

Early-Adopter Faculty Campus IT and Infrastructure
• Entertainment and Curiosity - early drivers
• Pedagogy – Faculty development funding, training, workshops
• Classrooms & Labs – VR HMD requires PCs with more horsepower (GTX 970/980, 16GB RAM)

Network Considerations Campus IT and Infrastructure
Latency • Cell phone latency 450 milliseconds • Need latency between 50 – 100 milliseconds for believable emotion capture in VR
Video • Oculus Rift CV1 – 1080P
• Next generation Rift – 4k
• Youtube 10 minutes of 1080p video: 3774*60*10/8/1024 = 277 MB * 5 for 360 video (est.) = 1.3GB
• NextVR used an 8 Mbps stream, at 6k resolution and 80 frames-per-second.
Motion Tracking (Head + Body + Hands) • The raw amount of data streamed from one Kinect is 22 MB/s
