VRDL empowers students with the toolbox to develop virtual environments that are 3-dimensional and photo-realistic. By utilizing a lightweight head-mounted display, students experience a 360-degree environment that feels “real” to the senses. This head-mounted technology, coupled with a motion-sensing tracker, transports the students to a virtual environment of their creation and choosing. To date, VRDL has already fully developed full-immersion experiences for such educationally rich places such as Mesa Verde, Machu Picchu, and the Hoover Dam. Whether the students immerse themselves in these existing places, or create new places of their own, their experience will be engaging, exciting, and thought provoking.
