8 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced a NYSUNY 2020 award ($367,000) for an enhanced virtual reality simulation laboratory at the core of the College’s lower lobby capital project. The facility will include 14 pre-clinical training simulators that use an integrated, augmented reality technology to provide a three-dimensional experience for ocular examinations. The development of the simulation laboratory and the use of virtual reality technology will prepare students for the applied learning experience of the patient care setting. The laboratory will efficiently enhance their technical abilities, knowledge, and critical thinking skills. Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul visits the College’s current virtual reality simulation laboratory.
