Globally there are hundreds of universities with the desire to teach virtual reality development, however only very few are actually equipped to do so, according to a new survey from Crytek, a German game engine maker. Crytek said that more than 400 universities have expressed an interest in VR, and 201 of them have officially applied for a VR First Lab, backed by Crytek. As a result, Crytek has been making VR tools freely available to universities for development as part of its VR First initiative, which has so far seen 14 universities join the programme out of the 400 that have so far expressed an interest. The first step in this process is to create a prototype and then build it into something more robust.
