Investors must know about the use cases of virtual reality in multiple EdTech companies

COVID-19 disrupted several industries and important life milestones, including education. The education industry took a big hit as several million schools and educational institutions around the world had to shut down to control the pandemic. This not only resulted in a halt of academics but also put a dent in several economies. This is when the edtech industry came into effect. EdTech companies witnessed a sudden boom as education took the online route. At such times, making sure students pay attention and the faculty is able to deliver the curriculum in an interactive way became a priority. Several EdTech companies leveraged disruptive technologies and financed education with AI technologies like virtual reality. 

Here are some use cases of VR in EdTech

Immersive VR education

Immersive VR Education is a software company founded in 2014. Since the beginning, it has always been at the forefront of virtual and augmented reality technologies. They are best known for their ENGAGE platform that was specifically built for training and education based on virtual reality. 

Virtual reality simulations

Virtual reality simulations can also help students learn practical skills, and one of the biggest benefits to training people in this way is that students can learn from realistic scenarios without the risk of practicing an unfamiliar skill in an uncontrolled real-life situation.

Virtual field trips

Virtual field trips have become one of the most popular applications of VR technology for learning, and many schools have begun using Google Expeditions to transport students to faraway and even inaccessible parts of the planet.

VR headsets

Even philosophical theories can be brought to life with virtual reality. The Sevenoaks School in the United Kingdom recently started using VR headsets in its philosophy lessons as a way to introduce students to French philosopher Rene Descartes' dream argument.

Virtual reality technology

Schools are also finding that virtual reality technology is a great way to spark students' creativity and keep them engaged, especially when it comes to architecture and design. For the last three years, David Beach, assistant professor at the Drury University Hammons School of Architecture, has been researching ways to apply VR technology in his field and believes it opens up countless possibilities in architectural design.
