Virtual reality has become accessible through Google Cardboard (~$30), mobile apps, and Youtube 360 degree videos. Here are some ideas on how virtual reality can be implemented into a education program now and in the coming future:

• Assessing your lessons with greater fields of view.
• Watching demonstration videos that offer more viewing angles.
• Taking students on virtual field trips to athletic events and sites.
• Taking a guided tour of the human body and its inner systems.
• Providing meditation and stress management type applications.
• Social and emotional learning applications and teaching empathy.
• Simulate teaching experiences in teacher education programs.
• Help students get over their fears (ie. fear of heights and other phobias).

• Increase motivation and performance during exercise.
• Special Education applications.
• Teambuilding apps.
• Practicing presentations to a virtual audience.
• Learning tactical decisions through simulations.
• Use in driver's education (texting example and drunk driving example).
• Taking a tour of the school facilities for students, parents, and teachers.
• Creating recruitment videos for your program (example from a university).
