VR and AR are technologies that have the capacity to truly revolutionize education. Their immersive nature elevates the students’ learning experience, allowing them to absorb course material in ways that haven’t been done before. Marques Coleman notes that aside from the traditional way of learning within the four walls of a classroom, these technologies allow […]
Australia's first Indigenous digital skills training program is giving Aboriginal students the opportunity to create animated worlds from their elders' stories — and connect with culture in the process.
The potential for extended reality - the collective term for augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies - to change the way we learn is very substantial indeed. Read the thoughts and insights from Fergus Bruce, Director at Sublime.
The future of connection will push the boundaries of today's technology, one virtual world at a time. Social virtual reality is gaining steam and marketers should pay attention.

A hospital visit for the young ones is a scary prospect and it’s often not the procedure itself they fear. Studies have shown that kids worry about being separated from their loved ones and are frightened about what they will encounter during their time in hospital. As many as 2 in 3 kids will suffer from anxiety which can manifest in many ways including sleep disturbance, uncharacteristic behaviour and even depression. The more prepared kids are for their procedures the easier it is and VRemedies helps patients get ready for their visit in a fun, informative and interesting way.
Using a virtual reality headset, child patients are given their own private preview of what to expect during their hospital visit. A friendly robot guides sick children through procedures such as radiation therapy, theatre – from pre-operation to recovery - MRI and CT scans and X-Ray. Because of its video game-like format and use of technology that is familiar and unthreatening to young people, VRemedies can help make upcoming visits considerably less daunting. Virtual reality technology allows children to be introduced to doctors and other medical professionals plus they can see and hear the clinical equipment and machines they will encounter on the day of their treatment. The robot goes through the procedure first so the child can watch and then they are encouraged to participate themselves.
"If your dreams occasionally involve spreadsheets that extend endlessly in all directions, good news: Researchers have developed a virtual reality spreadsheet interface that could expand Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel files from flat screens into 3D spaces. Rather than being nightmare-inducing, it could actually make spreadsheet apps more usable than before. While traditional spreadsheets have been limited by the boundaries of 2D windows and displays, the research team envisions VR opening up adjacent 2D workspaces for related content, then using 3D for everything from floating menus to cell selection and repositioning. In one example, a VR headset mirrors the view of one spreadsheet page displayed on a physical tablet, while two virtual sheets sit to the left and right, permitting drag-and-drop access to their cells, as an overview hovers above."

Improvement in knowledge was shown after students were able to work with the simulation of a diesel engine. How exciting that must be to explore something that complex. Imagine what advancements we could make in the classroom exploring animals habitats, adaptations, the transfer of energy, and much more.
