VR IN EDUCATION
Solving the VR in education puzzle
VR (virtual reality) can and should be a part of every learning solution, the world over.
Becoming indistractable is the most important skill for the 21st century.

Why Sensible-VR?
A name should confer a meaning, and this name is very intentional. There has been a lot of hype in VR in education, but there needs to be more scrutiny around practicality, feasiblity, affordability, and… common sense.
We welcome each bit of that scrutiny.
Controller Tutorial
This 1-minute video walks the user through the main uses of the controller. It is easy to learn how to navigate the Hub (which is the central control of the entire system), choose educational content, and start learning. This tutorial shows how to:
– Navigate your surroundings and explore
– Select modules and things to learn
– Moving in and out of scenarios, at your own pace
– Do the assessment questions
A single controller is used, keeping the learning curve low. No teacher intervention is required, and ease of use encourages participation of many special needs students.
DPVR P2: A Sensible VR Headset
Made for all applications which require advanced technology paired with privacy and security, for ALL learning applications.
A single controller with 3 buttons and trackpad means that this is much easier to learn and manipulate for special needs students, while not giving up the interactivity needed by all.
SVR content is protected, but it is an unlocked device, meaning it is YOUR device and other content can be added and viewed. Looking to explore the metaverse safely, without tracking? This is your device.

Wellness
Sometimes, you just need to step away from the world.
Solitude: A quiet respite from daily school life. From meditation to concussion protocol.
White Noise: Like Solitude (above), but with greater controls on the senses to activate.
360 Cities for Schools
Stunning 360° scenes
Get a sense of being there, with this series of scenes brought to you by our good friends at 360 Cities. They have amassed the world’s largest collection of such images, with a few of their favourites for you.
Create your own: Adding unlimited projects to your content list
Finally, a VR editor that does it right — all offline. Why is that important? 360° files, both images and especially videos, are huge. Uploading them and then downloading them again is a huge burden, and ultimately a cost. The cost is not simply the bandwidth, but hosting fees, network fees, IT staff time and effort for setup, upkeep and troubleshooting, and then teacher time. Frustration is also a factor.
Offline production ensures the ability to create unique projects is available to all, regardless of where you are. Create offline, plug in an SVR headset (USB-C cable) and make the project available right away. Easy.
