The thing that interests me the most are the applications to our specific programs and how VR can help us with the new normal given the COVID situation. We have a hard time getting students together for clinicals and simulations in our nursing program. IT students are not getting the hands on experience that is typical of our program, and the AV students need to physically work on planes to gain the needed knowledge. While VR cannot replicate a real life situation, it can certainly fill some holes in the practical application of theory and concepts learned in the classroom without creating the potential for transmission of the virus.
