Parker Louison ’20 is the winner of the Ready Player One Competition with his idea based on a VR application to develop simulations of various career paths and areas of study. This will help students ‘test the waters’ of their various interests, stretching their perspectives on their own capabilities and helping them thrive in and be passionate about their future careers. Louison received an HTC VIVE set valued at $599 donated to the UMass Amherst Libraries by Dr. Steve Acquah, Digital Media Lab Unit Coordinator and Associate Adjunct Professor of Chemistry. – UMass Libraries
