Very few people, really know what VR is.

Virtual world technology provides a three dimensional, web based, environment in which users interact through the use of a virtual simulation of themselves or an “Avatar”. Virtual worlds originated as an entertainment platform but recently became popular for both business and educational purposes, and can be a vital tool to help people experience a new reality or potential. This tool can be utilized as an outlet for children and their siblings who are experiencing unhealthy and challenging living conditions.There are several reasons why VR is the technology that holds the potential to revolutionize the field of education, visibility, engagement, safety and focus.

VR technology in education not only makes the learning materials simpler and clearer for students, but also fully immerses them into a given subject, transforming learning into an engaging, game like process. Using VR, students stop being passive observers and instead become active parts of the learning process, assessing and solving interactive tasks in a VR lesson by, for example, taking apart a car engine, without any need to purchase the car. In VR, we can create a virtual space using computer graphics where students are immersed into the world of a given subject, commanding student's full concentration

Recent research shows the therapeutic benefits of virtual reality for patients enduring long-term medical treatment. For example, children at St. Jude’s Hospital have been using these devices and it allows these children to escape the confines of the hospital and experience exciting virtual worlds such as the forest, the ocean, the circus, even educational experiences. This effort is organized in close coordination with the medical staff at St. Jude’s Hospital and the experts at Gamer’s Outreach whom have extensive experience providing recreational hardware configured for use in hospitals.
