Dive Right In with VR Tech

There is a lot of buzz around using AR/VR technology in education, often as a technology that is soon to emerge as a powerful tool. The fact is, the tools are currently in place to get students started building with AR/VR technology NOW, and many of the best platforms just happen to be free. 

So if you are thinking of diving in but have been afraid to take the leap, here is a ‘Get Started NOW’ guide to have students building and sharing their own experiences.

Here are the tools that you will need to complete this experience:

1. The Google Street View App on a mobile phone or device
2. Tour Creator – Sign in with a Google Account on your laptop or computer 

Part 1: Google Street View App: Have students create a 360^o image of the location or locations that are part of their experience. 

(A 360^o image camera will also work really well if you already have one, although often the cost is rather expensive and sharing the device between students takes time. The Street View app is a free download.) 

1. Once they open the app, students will tap on the Camera Icon to begin creating their 360^o image.
