Researchers in science and medical fields are already making great use of immersive technology. Although augmented simulations and views inside the body are obviously great tools for learning, something as simple as experiencing the world from the perspective of an elderly patient with dementia can have an enormous lasting impact on a medical student’s approach.

The empathic response triggered by a 360 video is so much more powerful than reading case studies alone (Oh, S.Y., Bailenson, J., Weisz, E. Zaki, J., 2016).

Vocational training will really begin to feel the impact of virtual and augmented reality over the next year or so.

The ability to experience training in 360 is invaluable – and imagine budding mechanics viewing a working engine from all angles without leaving the lecture room. All this is possible right now with ClassVR.

Implications for the arts are just as profound. Immersive, 360-degree photography and videography have enormous potential as new forms of media.

ClassVR allows students to easily load self-created content onto headsets through a simple web portal. Empower your students to build immersive, multi-perspective films; give them the tools to tell stories in new ways and portray the world from limitless perspectives.
