Virtual Teaching: VR, AR, and 360° Video in Higher Education Conference
Submission Deadline: November 22, 2019
Virtual reality, augmented reality, and 360° video are making the transition from the arcade and the playroom into the classroom. This conference provides a forum for the presentation of essays and research regarding the use of these technologies in higher education, providing an opportunity to share insight into the challenges and successes experience in the application of these technologies.
This showcase is the demonstration component of Virtual Teaching: VR, AR, and 360° Video in the Classroom, an academic conference exploring practical, theoretical, phenomenological, pedagogical, and/or empirical approaches to virtual environment technologies. The conference will take place at the University of South Carolina in historic Columbia, SC, located midway between the Atlantic beaches and the foothills of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains.
