Virtual Education Is Here
Here we see the first classroom example of virtual reality(Oculus Rift and Leap Motion) being used for educational purposes. Named "World of Comenius," the demo gives the player or user the view of a fully modeled human body, with bones and organs, and the ability to interact by picking it apart using their hands. Here you won't see children with their necks bent with their faces down in books, but instead looking forward and around using their hands to explore the human anatomy. And they're not bored or having problems keeping attention to the task at hand. They seem rather excited, and smiling, and working together, communicating. All focused at the task at hand, even if they're not given a specific task. Here is a video that shows a better view of what it looks like in action I can imagine a teacher going around the classroom asking them to find a specific bone or organ, and then checking if they found the right one. Would be a great interact...
