Virtual reality (VR) refers to a computer-generated environment that simulates a realistic or imaginary world. The user can interact with this virtual environment using specialized equipment such as a VR headset, gloves or hand-held controllers, and move around within the space. This technology is a professional comprehensive information technology that surpasses multimedia technology, architectural animation and network technology in the 21st century. In a sense, it is the latest development of integrated computer multimedia, graphics, artificial intelligence, network processing and other technologies. (Zhang, 2005). The first recorded implementation of a digital VR system appeared in the 1966, in the form of a flight simulator designed for training purposes for the United States air force (Page, 2000). The flight simulator allowed the student to be immersed in a full-motion system that replicated movements of an actual aircraft without ever leaving the ground. Incorporated this technology help pave the way for various flight scenarios without any risks or costs of an actual flight.

Hi everyone!
I have an undergraduate degree in Fine Art and a minor in education (Kent State, 2007). I'm currently teaching high school and middle school art education at Cloverleaf school district, which I've been doing for 15 years. I'm pursuing my Master's in Sciene and Educational Specialist in Learning technologies and Design from SISLT in 2022-Present. I have been putting together education websites, videos, tutorials for 12 years.
I'm currently the assistant womens golf coach at Ashland University and I've been blessed with an amazing wife and four children.
Here's to a great few weeks together as we explore the ins and outs of the virtual reality.
