The Smithsonian Institution - New ClassVR Content

This week, here at ClassVR HQ, we are pleased to announce that we have added a brand-new category of exciting content to our subscription library – The Smithsonian Institution.

The Smithsonian is known worldwide as one of the greatest collections of historical artefacts on the planet and as part of their ongoing mission for “the increase and diffusion of knowledge” they have added a selection of their artefacts to Sketchfab under a Public Domain licence, meaning they are available for anyone to use, for free, forever!

With that, we have been able to add thirteen of these incredible models to our ever-expanding library, allowing students from all over the world to experience them on their ClassVR headsets and hold statues, skeletons and priceless art in their hands using the power of Augmented Reality and the ClassVR ARCube.
