Glimpse Group partners with The College of Staten Island

The Glimpse Group entered into a two year, mid-six figure contract with the College of Staten Island CUNY Technology Incubator for the design, deployment and integration of a suite of immersive technologies in its new Innovation Hub. CSI was awarded funding from New York State and Empire State Development to establish a state-of-the-art Virtual and Augmented Reality Lab as part of New York State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative. With additional financial backing from the New York City Council, the VR/AR Lab will be housed within the newly constructed Innovation Hub, with a total project budget exceeding $3 million. This funding will support a wide range of initiatives, including cutting-edge equipment and technology for students and entrepreneurs, the development of advanced instructional spaces, and the creation of collaborative workspaces for faculty, students, entrepreneurs, and community members. This immersive tech project is expected to be implemented over the next two years and includes significant software licenses and services from several Glimpse subsidiary companies.
