\nVirtual and augmented realities make headway in courses on health care, art history and social work.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

When Glenn Gunhouse visits the Pantheon, you would think that the professor, who teaches art and architecture history, wouldn\u2019t be able to keep his eyes off the Roman temple\u2019s columns, statues or dome. But there\u2019s something else that always catches his eye: the jaws of the tourists visiting the building, and the way they all inevitably drop.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one other way that Gunhouse has been able to replicate that feeling of awe for his students short of booking expensive plane tickets to Italy. Photos, videos and even three-dimensional walk-throughs on a computer screen don\u2019t do it: It\u2019s when his students put on virtual reality headsets loaded with images of the Pantheon.<\/p>\n

Oculus reportedly planning $200 standalone wireless VR headset for 2018<\/strong> <\/a>— from techcrunch.com by Darrell Etherington<\/p>\n

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

Facebook is set to reveal a standalone Oculus virtual reality headset sometime later this year, Bloomberg reports<\/a>, with a ship date of sometime in 2018. The headset will work without requiring a tethered PC or smartphone, according to the report, and will be branded with the Oculus name around the world, except in China, where it\u2019ll carry Xiaomi trade dress and run some Xiaomi software as part of a partnership that extends to manufacturing plans for the device.<\/p>\n

Facebook Inc. is taking another stab at turning its Oculus Rift virtual reality headset into a mass-market phenomenon. Later this year, the company plans to unveil a cheaper, wireless device that the company is betting will popularize VR the way Apple did the smartphone.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
