Description
Low-cost, standalone Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) headsets are today available to teachers and researchers, creating new opportunities for educators similarly to what happened with smartphones and the BYOD methodology. In fact, these VR/AR setups are based on high-precision, 6 degrees-of-freedom, high-speed, multiple-object tracking technologies, whose data is available to developers to build their (educational) experiences. During this workshop we will present the software to teach and learn motion concepts we developed; participants will be able to use standalone headsets for hands-on activities and to debate the potential and limitations of this technology in its use in Physics Education.
