Virtual reality has been available for about four years. For one thing, this technology suffered from numerous handicaps making its deployment in K-12, distance learning and the school environment difficult.

For another, this technology arrived at a certain level of maturity with stand-alone devices, finger tracking, and collaborative environments.

Furthermore, social distancing due to COVID-19 offers golden opportunities for learning organizations to implement education through virtual reality, as it minimizes direct contact between people.

We invite you to join Proteus, a company resulting from a PhD project at the School of Public Health at the University of Montreal, which involved the development of an interactive virtual reality platform through on-site or distance learning. Proteus has developed several pilot projects with e-learning schools to test and demonstrate the use of virtual reality in various learning contexts.

The interactive presentation consists of a demonstration of the technology, an explanation of the workshops and laboratories, and of a Q&A concerning implementation and availability.
