Loving the work of Immersive VR Education & Reality In Virtual Reality - was great to see early insights into concepts being developed for immersive learning environments, this example shared progress on WW2 VR interactive history lesson on Pointe du hoc Normandy France. Particularly liked the combination of 360 video/image and 3D models, and being able to interact with the environment, whilst listening to the historical information.
