Virtual Reality is a popular new technology with many potential applications. But what is it and how does it work? In this lesson, students will find out what virtual reality is and how it came to be. They will experiment with depth perception to find out how virtual reality viewers work, and get hands on experience with virtual reality viewers an…
Engineering Reality - Holograms
Holograms have amazed and intrigued us from Princess Leia's famous Star Wars scene "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi" to Tupac performing "live" at Coachella. Are you ready to become a hologram? Here's how! In this lesson students will take a look at how holograms work, what is and isn't really a hologram, build a hologram viewer, and make a hologram of th…
Engineering Reality - The Interactive Classroom
By using virtual reality, augmented reality, and holograms, students will transform their classroom into an interactive learning experience. Make your Open House one to remember! There are three previous Engineering Reality lessons that lead up to this lesson, where students learn the following skills: student-created virtual reality images, video…
