Virtual Reality at Lamond-Riggs/ Lillian J. Huff Library

In support of Art All Night by The Parks Main Street, the Lamond-Riggs/Lillian J. Huff Library (5401 South Dakota Avenue NE) is kicking off virtual reality experiences at the library today September 23, 2022, from 1:00 pm to 5:30 pm.

Virtual Reality Experiences include:

Tilt Brush by Google – Library customers will be able to paint in three dimensional space where the branch large meeting room will be their canvas. Use 3D brush strokes to include stars, lights, fire, paint, and so much more! 

Wander – Customers will be able to wander the world from the convenience of a comfortable chair, visiting museums in Paris, mountain terrains, or grandma’ss childhood home. 

Pottery VR – Customers will be able to go through all the stages of creating ceramics. They will be able to choose the color of clay and shape it on the potter’s wheel with their own hands.

Vermillion and Painting VR – These two apps will allow customers to mix colors, dip their brushes and start painting. This experience is very hands-on, easy to understand, and aimed at all ages. Everyone can play around with unlimited amounts of fresh paint on canvas. 

General Gaming – These applications will be made available for customers interested in exploring beyond the art-themed VR experiences listed above. 

Two televisions will cast what people create or play onto the screen for all to see in real time. 

Note: All creative expressions will be saved on the Oculas to be used by The Parks Main Street for later use.

  1. Kudos for David Gaston, Lamond-Riggs/Lillian Huff Library, Branch Manager. He has introduced new and exciting technology that can be shared by all ages. David mentioned a recent virtual tour of the Holy Lands that a couple were reliving. They retraced their actual steps and marveled at how the virtual reality matched their actual memories.

    David plans to introduce other video tour experiences for the youth, adults, and seniors. This is a very innovative and exciting program that he is championing.

  2. Good afternoon. I am a Producer with the DC Office of Cable TV, Film, Music & Entertainment. I would like to schedule an interview with someone about the Art All Night Experience. Please let me know if a Librarian or Public Information Officer is available today or later in the week. Thank you!
