VR in Education :
Memorable Education Utilizing the Power of Virtual Reality
Audience
Teachers and students – from elementary school through post-graduate.
Goal
To offer educators the opportunity to create engaging, immersive VR experiences to share with students. To offer students the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning, creating memorable, educational VR apps that can be shared in-class or worldwide.
Current Situation:
Both students and teachers have a hunger for technology that will make learning more engaging. VR provides an unparalleled educational opportunity for students. However, virtually no students or teachers are equipped with the technical knowledge to create a VR app themselves.
