VR Lab Access Training

Maker Multiplex and Zetta - General guidelines

The Maker Multiplex and Zetta are about community -- a place for students, faculty and staff to collaborate and make ideas come to life. As such, there are some general rules that we expect all users to follow. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in disciplinary action.

  1. Be respectful. Respect yourself, others, and the facilities provided.
  2. Clean up after yourself. Leave your workspace at least as tidy as you found it.
  3. Put tools, equipment, and supplies where they belong.
  4. Only use equipment for which you have the appropriate training and can use safely.
  5. Only access spaces for which you have the appropriate training.
  6. These spaces are intended for project work (academic, research, work, personal); they are not for studying.
  7. If you are unsure about anything, ask for help.
  8. No open food or drink allowed in M2Z spaces during regular M2Z activities.
  9. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as needed.
  10. Do not make anything (in whole or in part) that can be construed as a weapon or may be considered obscene.
  11. Do not bring in or use personal tools.
  12. Do not remove raw materials from any facilities.

NOTE: When using the manufacturing facilities (3D printing, student machine shop, etc.) in M²Z, you MUST comply with both the student code of conduct for the University of Calgary and the rules listed above. Information on the student code of conduct can be found here (https://www.ucalgary.ca/student-services/student-conduct)

VR Lab guidelines

There are some general rules that we expect all users to follow.

  1. If you have epilepsy or a history of seizures and blackouts, consult a doctor before using the VR system.
  2. Do not move the lighthouses without permission.
  3. Sterilize your headset and controllers with the cleaning supplies on your desk.
  4. Do not move tools, equipment, or chairs out of the room.
  5. Do not film your friends in the space without their permission.
  6. Remember that you will see some objects in the virtual environment that do not exist in the real environment, so don’t sit or stand on them.
  7. Remember that you won't see the walls, cables and other people in the room (real environment) while you are using the VR headset. Make sure that you have enough space before starting.
  8. Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
  9. Do not violate the virtual play boundary while you are in VR.
  10. Be aware of concurrent users (e.g. if both workstations are in use at the same time). Please coordinate with one another and try to avoid simultaneous play as much as possible.
  11. All users of the space must be M2Z members, must complete this VR Lab Access Training, and must check in at the Digital Design Lab (ICT 216) when they are using the space.
  12. If anything is amiss, please let the staff in Zetta know or send an email to sse.m2z@ucalgary.ca.
