Welcome to the Kent State Florence Augmented and Virtual Reality Experience

Click to begin the tour


Kent State University has enjoyed a proud and historical relationship with the city of Florence, Italy. For fifty years, Kent State faculty and students have walked the city streets, learning its culture and traditions. This augmented and virtual reality experience was created to both celebrate that past and to prepare current and new faculty and students for the future.

Visitors not yet in Florence can use virtual reality (via headset or computer) to see 360 images of important Florentine locations. Both experiences invite users to view and reflect on an Italian city that is a hub of international education.
