HOW CLASSVR WORKS:
The Hardware: ClassVR Headsets
ClassVR headsets provide a safe and secure way for students to explore VR & AR in the classroom with the teacher keeping full control over each device. From a comfortable VR experience using the adjustable head straps to the intuitive and simple to use interface and controls, ClassVR headsets have been designed specifically for students of all ages.
The Software: ClassVR Teacher Portal
The ClassVR Portal ensures teachers can confidently manage students and add value to lessons when using VR & AR in lessons. Easily search and build VR playlists using the drag and drop functionality, deliver lessons simultaneously and guide students through experiences using set dynamic points of interest. Teachers are always in control and the real-time class view provides full visibility of what and where their students are exploring in the headsets.
The Content: Curriculum-Aligned VR & AR Resources
The ClassVR Portal contains thousands of pedagogically sound, curriculum-aligned VR & AR resources including content, downloadable lessons plans, guides and worksheets to boost student engagement in every lesson. Teachers can also upload their own content, access the community of educational resources shared by existing ClassVR users and other third-party educational VR & AR content providers.
