There are already many experts which claim that virtual reality will be integrated into the classroom in an unstoppable and unimaginable way; so much so that Unai Extremo, CEO of Viroo, a VR room creation platform, tells us that its technology is already being used in educational institutions, where young students can, for example, “through the oculi, ‘go up’ to examine the engine of a wind turbine”.
At the end of the day, the material-saving capacity of a virtual reality team far exceeds the initial investment it represents. To this, the fact of increased security is added, which is facilitated by access to simulations like the one just mentioned. Virtual reality is also in continuous evolution and has already been used in embryonic form, but with great success, to treat neurodegenerative diseases which would even «reduce the saturation of health centers», adds Unai.
In short, technological advances have come to stay and adapt to them and include them in our school programming is the only way to save schools from “educational obsolescence”.
