Integrating Virtual Reality Tools Into Classroom Instruction

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging possibility for delivering educational content and experiences to students. Virtual Reality's use in education has long been discussed however; one of the main challenges is that VR was unaffordable. Today VR has evolved; the technology is mainstreamed, inexpensive, and more accessible. This chapter will examine the benefits of using VR tools (Google Cardboard), a 3D viewer in conjunction with Smartphone, for educational applications. Related studies suggest that VR tools are effective in subjects where an interactive environment is needed.
