Education in Virtual Reality has demonstrated that VR educational programs can deliver significant benefits that are difficult or cannot be achieved in real world or 2D virtual environments.
This edition of the VR Files explores some of the innovative VR educational programs and professionals who are progressing VR education in the metaverse.
VR Education Programs

For 2022, there will be new presentations, and updates to previous presentations, to prepare for the next generation Web 3.0 Metaverse.
As with the 2021 UniVirtual Experience event, I'm working on new educational presentations for the upcoming 2022 global event.
As with the 2021 UniVirtual Experience, the 2020 Global Summit event will feature notable VR Subject Matter Experts (SME's) and educators. They'll be speaking and presenting on a variety of topics.
