What we have to offer

Virtual Reality

Virtual reality (VR) headsets replace the user's natural environment with virtual reality content to explore the virtual environment around them.

We have several Oculus Quest2 Virtual Reality headsets available for rent. Each headset is packed with hundreds of games, apps, entertainment, and experiences-- including DFM's very own custom designed VR applications. The market's leading headset is one of the most accessible VR headsets currently available, thanks to its standalone functionality and relative affordability. Contact us at [email protected] to rent a VR headset and explore how it can be used to de-stress, learn new concepts or perfect procedural skills.

Lights

A critical aspect of creating videos or capturing moments via photography, the appropriate lighting will allow you to set the mood within your story and create the atmosphere. Illustrate a somber situation or highlight an area of your scene to create quality content.

TV Monitors

Two transportable (on wheels!) Samsung TV monitors (58”) and computers can be brought into conference rooms or your event space to provide additional hybrid meeting options.

Live stream an important conference, movie, or game to strengthen connections within your team by hosting a wellness day!

Each flat screen cart is equipped with a Beelink Minicomputer (wi-fi enabled) and wireless Touch TV keyboard, as well as Logitech Pro Stream Webcams that are perfect for video streaming.

Depending on your needs, there are other accessories available such as a sound bar for improved sound quality, and laser pointers.

Video Cameras

Our (two) Canon Vixia HF G50 Camcorders with tripods can be used for recording entire lectures, greeting messages, or events. While it's equipped with several professional features they are known for their ease of use. Each camera has large SD (secure digital) cards, so you’ll have plenty of space to capture your events or content.

Photography

Need an updated headshot, or to capture content for your reports, research papers or other marketing materials? Make use of our Canon Rebel T4i camera that is easy to but full of professional features.

The DFM’s Communications Technology Specialist has experience editing videos, podcasts, photography, and more. Present your plan for digital content creation and reserve time for recording, editing or consultation services. Please contact our specialist at [email protected] to discuss your needs and ensure your work is showcased throughout the Department!

Samsung Tablets and Stylus Pens

Four Samsung tablets are easily transportable and can be used to capture survey results on-site, ease a registration process, in any scenario in lieu of laptops or to set up a photo booth wall at your next event.

Meeting Owls

The Meeting Owl 3 vastly improves the experience for virtual guests at hybrid meetings. It’s an all-in-one 360-degree camera, microphone, and speaker with minimal set-up and hassle.
