You can be sitting \u2018courtside\u2019 at NBA games with virtual reality<\/strong><\/a> — from mercurynews.com by Bill Oram<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe result is a really strong sense of presence,\u201d said David Cole, who helped found NextVR as a 3D company in 2009. \u201cA vivid sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some ways, we could still be at a point in time where a lot of people don\u2019t yet know that they want this in VR,\u201d said David Cramer, NextVR\u2019s chief operating officer. \u201cThe thing that we\u2019ve seen is that when people do see it, it just blows away their expectations.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n Hmm…the above piece from The Mercury News<\/em> on<\/span> #<\/span>VR<\/a> speaks of presence.\u00a0 A vivid sense of presence.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

If they can do this with an NBA game, why cant\u2019 we do this with remote learners & bring them into face-to-face classrooms?<\/strong> How might VR be used in online learning and distance education? Could be an interesting new revenue stream for colleges and universities…and help serve more people who want to learn but might not be able to move to certain locations and\/or not be able to attend face-to-face classrooms. Applications could exist within the corporate training\/L&D world as well.
