A physics
class is able to experiment in a simulated virtual reality physics lab
in which they control the properties of all the objects, observe them
from any angle, and communicate with other students immersed in virtual
reality.
Meanwhile,
in another part of the school, students in a social studies class use it
to immerse themselves in a recreation of the Battle of 1812. Mathematics
students place themselves inside of an equation. English students tour
Shakespeare's Globe Theater as it existed centuries ago, and so on.
Virtual
reality puts students inside of their subjects. From their own
point-of-view, students have their own self-guided personal experience
with their studies. They step inside (literally) of Independence Hall
(in 1787) while studying the Constitution. They travel through a
computer to learn how it operates. They become a part of what they’re
learning, which can happen only in virtual reality.
