Virtual Reality (VR) transforms education by providing immersive, interactive experiences. We offer sessions for the supported programs listed below. We are also happy for staff to research and suggest apps for us to download for them to try.
We have ten Meta Quest 3 headsets for running VR sessions in our dedicated Innovation Suite.
