Most virtual reality solutions, like the typical VR headset, are isolating and only intended for one person at a time. However, the zSpace is a mixed reality technology that offers an immersive experience and collaboration among students. The user wears Tracked Glasses, which provide a complete experience, while others can wear Follower Glasses, which allow peers to participate. This collaboration encourages students to solve problems as a team and creates opportunities for conversation, which in turn, helps prepare students to be contributing team members in the future workplace.
“When students put on a VR headset and take a field trip or explore human anatomy, they are having an individual experience. It doesn’t encourage making connections, creativity or collaboration. zSpace was created specifically for learners, creating a shared AR/VR learning environment,” said Paul Kellenberger, CEO, zSpace. “Today’s launch of the zSpace Laptop takes that experience to the next level, moving our comfortable, interactive learning experience to the accessibility and affordability of the mobile platform.”
