Hello everyone, today I want to share my experience with the interesting and sort of scary technology of the future, Virtual Reality.
Well, what is VR?
Basically, it's a multi sensory simulation, giving input to your visual, motionary and auditory senses.
But how come?
Thanks to modern tech, your eyes are covered with VR goggles and your motions are recorded with gyroscopes and motion sensors, in addition to covering your nose so that your nose does not "direct" you to reality as it normally does. Completed with earphones, you are surrounded by stereo recordings or sound simulations, ending up in a feeling of immersion into the digital world.
OK, but how do we use it in Education?
That's easy. We create contexts, we take people to places which are both educative and hard to go for either economical or physical conditions. We make people meet, beating social phobia and physical disabilities too.
It's a nice technology, yet I have a hesitation, that one day this little guy called VR might grow up in corrupting hands, ultimately ruining our lives like an episode from Black Mirror.
