Imagine taking your students to the top of Machu Picchu, sending a whirling tornado through their desks, or helping them share their own stories with classmates. With virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), you can add a new dimension to classroom curriculum.
Expeditions, Google's virtuality reality app, lets you create an interactive, virtual environment for your students to explore. Or give your students the tools to create their own VR experiences.
Give students a peek inside an ancient Egyptian tomb. Or take them on a tour of the solar system. With augmented reality, it’s now possible to bring virtual items into your classroom.
With Expeditions, all you need to experience the magic of VR and AR is a mobile device. Download the free Expeditions app to unlock over 900 VR tours and over 100 AR tours. Then take your students to the edge of the world, or bring the world into the classroom. To get the most out of your VR and AR experience, consider getting a Google Expeditions kit for your classroom.
Google Cardboard lets you experience VR with an affordable viewer that pairs with any mobile device and is easy to use.
Is there an experience you or your students would like to share with your students? Tour Creator lets you build your own immersive tours from your computer.
