We’d love to have seen something cool like this when we were at school!
Kids at St Kieran’s National School in Offaly were treated to an amazing virtual reality experience when they were given the opportunity to walk in the world they created.
Designed by MissionV, a virtual reality platform for teaching and training, students in 11 schools across the country get to check out new realities using a simulator that’s access controlled by their teacher.
According to Technology.ie, who shared this video, normally the students simply use the keyboard and mouse to explore the new worlds, but as a treat MissionV founder James Corbett brought in something very special: the Oculus Rift VR headset.
To add to their experience, the students in the national school learned scripting and 3D modelling and recreated historic Irish site, Clonmacnoise. Have a look at the fun they had.
