The possibilities for adopting Virtual Reality technology are endless. You can model human anatomy, experience outer space/charter out the night sky, or take virtual field trips all from the comfort of the classroom.
Studies have shown that adopting VR technology can enrich learning outcomes in a classroom environment. Students are more likely to engage with course content, retain knowledge, and interact with real-life scenarios without leaving the confines of the classroom.
VR technology can also serve as a vehicle to engage neurodiverse students in concepts they can connect to without an array of barriers to their education.
Test out demo units loaded with the most up-to-date education VR content from cutting-edge education VR developers such as Facilitate, SkillsVR, LiminalVR, and Mindflight7.
If you see a strong use case for integrating VR technology and want to learn more about Meta’s education goals, this is the event for you.
WHY YOU SHOULD COME
