The Potential of VR Technology

Welcome to this website, our aim is to encourage debate and discussion around the inclusivity of virtual reality (VR) in educational institutions. Not only have we considered the benefits of VR in an educational setting, we have also explored VR’s potential in other areas such as using it as an assistive technology for clinical application and discussing where else the technology is being used. We believe that VR technology has enormous potential and can evoke change.

‘Virtual reality was once the dream of science fiction. But the internet was also once a dream, and so were computers and smartphones. The future is coming and we have a chance to build it together.’ Valerie Reimer (2016) Quoting founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, from 2014 when Facebook acquired Oculus Rift. Reimer also said within her article ‘VR promises to change a person’s reality.’
