#1 Using Virtual Reality with Purpose: Professor Bob Stone

from The Future of Learning Hosted by Lloyd Dean

Virtual reality is still evolving - despite what anyone else tells you. This is why it is extremely difficult to identify projects in learning and development where VR has had an objectively positive impact. We don’t even have a standard definition. Some focus on the word “immersion” which reflects the association of VR with a headset whilst others highlight that virtual reality is about simulating a real-life scenario as closely possible. So why not call it simulation (we could also branch AR and MR in that bracket) and be done with it? No, in our social-media enriched world I honestly think this is because #VR is more appealing and more eye-catching than #simulation. This podcast episode discusses the application of virtual reality and how we can all be more systematic with its use. Professor Bob Stone is Director of the Human Interfaces Technologies Team at the University of Birmingham.
