From the supplier: At the moment virtual reality (VR) is poorly understood and over-hyped, but it offers great potential for educational applications. VR is essentially a simulated three-dimensional world in which a user moves around and interacts with objects. VR systems require high-end hardware and software. Some believe that VR will spell the death of student creativity. Instead, it will challenge and excite them far more than any existing educational technology. VR will give students, especially the physically impaired and learning disabled, great independence and control. Much VR research since the early 1970s has taken place at the Univ of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Univ of Washington's Human Interface Technology (HIT) Laboratory is another hotbed of VR research. Currently, the most common application for VR is simulators for training purposes.
