VR and AR in education may make the most revolutionary impact on society. With retention stats proving VR/AR dramatically improving retention learning capabilities how will this change approaches to teaching and classroom activities? With changes in the classroom environment and remote learning due to the pandemic what role will VR and AR play at both the K-12 and college levels? We will explore these questions and more with our experts who are at the forefront of these new educational horizons.
What's The Format:
We suggest that you download, set-up, get familiar with the VirBELA program and environment prior to the Meetup, as we will be unable to provide support during the event. The event will also streamed on Facebook.com/VRARChicago.
The virtual environment resembles a physical space, so you will be able to talk with other attendees prior to the start of the presentations during open networking. The sound is spatialized, so if at any point it feels too loud, feel free to move your conversation to another part of the room where there are less people.
We begin with informal networking and then start the stage portion promptly at 6:15pm CDT. There will be a handful of presentations before we move on to answer audience questions and then finish with more networking. We keep it simple and informal - this MeetUp is about you, our members, and not the host or presenters. Come and get your questions answered, take your next step into immersive technology.
