Your Weekly Download

Entertainment aside, virtual reality devices and simulations have real world applications. Whether you’re a medical student conducting a virtual surgery simulation, an industrial worker being trained on proper safety procedures, or even a teacher who wants to take your students on a virtual field trip. Virtual Reality has the capability to span across many different areas of our lives, and from what we talk about in this podcast, current VR is just the tip of the iceberg. This week, we were fortunate enough to speak with Professor Charles Palmer. Program Lead for the IMED program and Executive Director for the Center for Advanced Entertainment and Learning Technologies here at Harrisburg University. Virtual reality and serious games were the topics this week and we definitely gained so much knowledge about this fun and educational technology. We want to hear from you, our listeners!
