Alyssa's takeaways

Virtual Room

Tech Lending

Tech Signage

No studio grid, advanced tracking equipment, mocap, curtain to cover floor for full body keying.

Tech lending was the majority of UTA's circulation, also had "vending machines" for laptops, tech, and course reserves.

Basic whiteboard signage with safety icons. Easily updated for stations.

  • App State Library as the community beacon post-Helene
  • 3d printing zen gardens
  • Journal binding
  • Terrarium creation
