Standford Conducts The First Class Entirely In Vr

With the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital learning got a new meaning to it as most schools, colleges, and educational institutions started relying on video conferencing to conduct classes. However, Stanford University recently took it up a notch as a University professor recently conducted a course-class session entirely in virtual reality (VR), a first in the institution’s history.

Furthermore, Bailenson designed the classes in such a way so that students would not experience simulator sickness. So, each of the classes was limited to 30-minute sessions. Plus, to protect the privacy of students, Bailenson asked Meta-owned Facebook to allow students to use fake accounts when logging in for the VR classes. In return, the professor promised to use Oculus’ (another Meta-owned company) VR headsets to conduct the classes.
