Last week my students in Computer Science had the chance to view some of their own projects they created in virtual reality and walk through them. This week we had the fantastic opportunity to visit U of H and meet Dr. Chang Yun and two of his graduate students in their Gaming Lab. Students were able to try out $3000 Augmented Reality headsets as they blew up invading space ships and even blew augmented holes in the walls when they missed.
They were also treated to experimenting with state of the art Virtual Reality and had a chance to use virtual tools to paint their own environment as they walked through it. Dr. Yun also gave them a talk about various computer science careers and how important a college education is for learning how to work in teams and how to connect learning to the real world. I love my job!
I love how you used virtual reality with the kids. What a motivator!!
