Social VR has the opportunity to bring learners from all over the world into a shared environment for collaboration, simulations, and serious games. While the potential is immense, broad-scale adoption of VR hardware will take some time. This session will describe how companies are accommodating this adoption life cycle by offering social learning experiences that people can log in to on mobile (2-D), desktop, and fully immersive VR.

In this session, you will learn how you can deliver education through a social virtual reality platform. You’ll learn about the issue of VR hardware adoption and how it is possible to bring learners together, whether they’re on a mobile device (non-VR), on a desktop computer, or inside a head-mounted VR device. There will be examples and demonstrations, including from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and eXp Realty.
