VR, AR, and 360° Video in Higher Education

Virtual Reality (VR) and related technologies (augmented reality, extended reality, 360 video, etc.) have the potential to revolutionize higher education in much the same way as flight simulators have revolutionized pilot training and VR has revolutionized architecture. The purpose of this conference is to bring together research on the use of these technologies in higher education and practical applications of these tools that are in use in classrooms or are in development. In addition to sharing and hearing research results, participants will have the opportunity for hands-on experience.

The conference will take place March 8-10, 2020 at the School of Journalism on the campus of the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina.
