Casa Loma Virtual Reality Lab

The Casa Loma Virtual Reality Lab is located inside of the Casa Loma Library Learning Commons. See below for guidelines on booking the the VR Lab, and details about using the space. When using the Virtual Reality equipment, there are two options:

Option 1:

  • Library staff will log you into the LLC desktop Microsoft 365 account.
  • You may use the LLC Steam VR account if you prefer not to make your own; by accessing the LLC Steam account, you can download free/demo games that will be accessible to all users.

Option 2:

  • You may log into your own Steam VR account using your personal credentials.
    • Please note that for academic software, you are required to log into GBC's AppsAnywhere. 


Did you know that you can sign VR equipment out from the LLC to take home? Visit our Borrow Equipment - Virtual Reality page for details, as well as some cautionary advice on using the equipment.
