I used the app VeeR to visit a new place I probably will never have the money or time to do so.
Virtual Reality Goggles are a great tool for Special Education classrooms because they provide an opportunity for those who are not visually impaired to be able to see and visit things and places that may be out of their abilities. I imagine to work in an environment where it is a low income community because I believe those are the places in where support is the most needed. So in this environment the chances that these students and their families having opportunities to visit other parts of the world are limited. Having access to these goggles provides students to feel a sense of belonging a sense of whatever “normality” may mean to them. It can produce experiences that can last a life time.
These goggles can become a tool for education, so when students are learning history they can visit the white house or when they are learning science they can visit a laboratory. This tool can also create a de-stress environment to the students when utilizing the tool as practice to carry on or visiting daily life tasks. This tool will make for example going to the super market more manageable because they would have practice and become some what prepared on what is expected in a super market.
