Educational Uses of Augmented and Virtual Reality
Presented by: Dan Workman, Pittsburg State University
In the fast and exciting area of augmented reality and virtual reality, everyone is looking for how they can expand their business with these new tools. With an estimated market of $120 billion by 2020, it is no wonder people with these skills are becoming more in demand. Here at Pittsburg State, we are helping students reach that future by offering new programs and incorporating the world of AR/VR into existing classes. This presentation will include a brief description of some of our past projects and upcoming projects, as well as live demos with Microsoft HoloLens, Oculus, and BT300!
