Virtual reality (VR) has changed life as we know it. It has also affected the dynamics of education. VR has opened the world’s educational system to a vast horizon of possibilities. Working hand in hand with artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR), it has taken education to a whole new level.

Virtual reality brings the world to the students in the classroom. Students can visit and experience the place they’ve never even dreamed of, from the depths of the oceans to the heights of space.

Virtual Reality Could Transform Education as We Know It

Virtual reality has been on the radar since Morton Heilig's Sensorama in the 1950s, and head mounted versions of the technology were even around in the 1960s. But it wasn't until recently that its use has become less of a novelty and more of a commonality. Console games and smartphone adapters have brought the potential of virtual reality into the lives of everyday people. And soon, that technology will enter the classroom.
