Abstract

In this symposium we explore the immense potential for virtual reality to be applied in educational settings. We discuss recent technological developments against a backdrop of several decades of research. Six presentations, including four from academic authors and two from the commercial sector, will explore user requirements, new technologies, and practical issues in collaborative VR applications for learning
