Virtual Reality in Education Sector


While exploring VR’s growing area of experiences, we happened to stumble across Leap Motion’s “Cat Explorer” application. The app lets users delve into a cat’s autonomy for educational, medical, and entertainment purposes. The interesting mix of VR and education introduced us to the idea of bridging our research with our dear colleagues from Tech2classroom, who specializes in educational technology.
Leap Motion’s technology is based on the idea of “intuitive interaction”. In fact, this is how they distance themselves from other developers. The Cat Explorer is evidently their easiest and most intuitive merchandise. Through VR, the app allows users to fully explore all aspects of a cat’s autonomy. It incorporates the skin outline, the muscle structure, the organs, as well as its vascular skeleton form. In addition, the platform offers the “pinch me” feature, which lets the user focus on a particular section of the cat’s body, with the possibility to discover all aspects individually with detailed descriptions.

If this feels exciting, there is a lot more coming in the following years. This is just the start of what we can expect from these innovative solutions. In schools, the combination of VR and education will stimulate a higher level of interest and engagement, while effectively instigate learning. For example, from historical textbooks and articles, one can have an idea of what life was like in Ancient Rome. Nevertheless, students are still not acquiring a hands-on experience. With VR, education is prone to be more ample, tangible and foster authentic sensations, thus enhancing both the learning experience and the level of understanding.

What do you think the future of VR and education will bring to society? Do you think this will have a positive impact? Feel free to leave a comment!

Your Future Doctor Will Also Be a VR/AR Designer

Imagine having a complete diagnosis of your postoperative well-being before a surgery, health delivery at home or the medicines you'll be resistant to.  Sounds like science fiction, doesn’t it? It’s not. Trying to lay aside the traditional practices of the healthcare industry, the progress of health innovation in the last five years has been incremental. Particularly, clinical medicine has already started implementing VR and AR therapies, diagnostic tools and treatment plans that are connected to a cloud of millions of clinical cases.                   Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine in a nearer future med students “playing” with surgical robotics and VR to predict illnesses on patients as well as risk agents and develop a design-approach of your clinical path. Here is when ImmersiveTouch comes into place, the real game-changers in this respect. This pioneering company has created a platform that allows ...

Augmented and Virtual Reality: A Spiel of Reality and Desire

Technology is improving at a rapid pace. Many things are possible today that were only in fiction movies 10 years ago. Augmented reality and virtual reality are two of the ways that tech is changing the way we look at the world . They are on the tipping point of becoming commercial technology.  As we can see, devices such as Oculus Rift and Google Glass are already on the market and available to all the users and developers. As a developer or investor who wants to decide which side we should pick, we need to know a little bit more about AR and VR. Augmented reality is defined as “an enhanced version of reality created by the use of technology to add digital information on an image of something”. Virtual reality is the process of using computer technology to create a simulated environment. It may be artificial, such as an animated scene, or an actual place that has been photographed and included in a virtual reality app. Whereas virtual reality replaces our vision, augment...
