Morehouse College, the alma mater of Martin Luther King Jr., Spike Lee, and Senator Ralph Warnock, will lead higher education into a new frontier this spring as students will be offered two classes held in virtual reality (VR).
The classes are more than online virtual, they are fully immersive in VR. With a donation from Qualcomm Technologies, students will be given an Oculus Quest 2, powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ XR2 Platform, where they can access the fully immersive, digitized version of the Morehouse campus and select classes.
While Morehouse College provides the students, faculty, and curriculum, the digital campus and learning objects are provided by VictoryXR. Steve Grubbs, the company CEO, commented, “This partnership gives the rest of the academic world a glimpse into the future of education. These classes will be surprisingly close to those imagined in the book, Ready Player One.”
Just like a real campus, a VR campus allows students to attend class together in real time, conduct science experiments, and dig for fossils. Unlike a real campus, students on the VR campus can expand a human heart and step inside it, jump into a time machine and visit wooly mammoths, or beam up to a starship and learn astronomy close up.
