“Reality has always been too small for the human imagination. We’re always trying to transcend.”—Brenda Laurel

What did you enjoy most during your school days? Chances are most of your best memories are from you enjoying some form of experiential learning. Experiential learning is essentially learning by doing and includes everything hands-on from your science lab experiments to field trips.

In this webinar, we will explore how immersive technologies can democratize access to experiential learning to students and schools around the region. We will talk about how immersive technologies need to be accessible, user-friendly, and cost-effective to be able to become a meaningful part of education.

WHAT IS AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY?

Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) is an incredibly powerful new tool for bridging the gap between imagination and reality. It achieves this most effectively when full immersion occurs, a solid sense of presence exists, and a multi-modal experience looks, feels, and sounds believable. These are foundation concepts to keep top of mind when you’re moving from designing experiences for traditional mediums to designing the magical world of XR.

AR/VR represents a large, and actively growing, industry – the application of modern games technology in a wide range of areas around medicine, training, education, security, and beyond.
