Using VR and Cloud Technology to Transform Libraries

Looking ahead, Havilah Group is pushing the boundaries of library innovation. We are advocating for the incorporation of virtual reality (VR) into library services, offering immersive learning experiences that bring books and research to life. Imagine students exploring historical sites or conducting virtual experiments through VR headsets integrated into library systems. Additionally, we are championing the use of cloud services to store and manage book collections. This approach enhances accessibility, allows for scalable storage, and protects digital assets against physical degradation, aligning with global best practices.
