Microsoft’s Hololens Makes it the coolest Windows 10 Computer
Microsoft’s Hololens isn’t just “Star Trek: The Next Generation’s” holodeck come to life – it turns out it’s a Windows 10 compatible feature that will allow holographic displays of your computer to be displayed in the air or on a nearby wall. But Microsoft sees the best potential for Hololens in 3D virtual reality for educational purposes – like being able to dissect a human body to see how varying anatomical systems work. However it’s used, it looks to be pretty awesome.
3D Virtual Reality Helping Intellectually Disabled Students in Hong Kong
Those touting the virtues of 3D virtual reality technology can add “teaching aid to the intellectually disabled” to the list. The Cornwall School in Hong Kong is having incredible success using InSPAL –Interactive Sensory Program for Affective Learning, developed by a team led by City University professor Horace Ip Ho-Shing. The program offers 3D virtual scenarios that teach intellectually disabled students how to interact in the classroom, and about safety and sensory experiences. His next project for InSPAL is being developed to help autistic schoolchildren adapt to the challenges of social behaviors expected in mainstream schools.
