ABOUT ME During my career at Drury University, I have developed a deeper interest in virtual reality and its practical use. Virtual Reality is one of the fastest developing technologies in the world. The use of immersive technology allows education, entertainment, and communication on an unprecedented level in a variety of fields. The level of interactivity with immersive technology creates an encounter that provides not only hands-on learning, but simulation that may be used to test users, study responses, provide lifelike experience and create clarity in communication unable to be expressed through other mediums. Virtual Reality has a integral part in the design field, allowing users to experience a space or object before the physical form is created. Virtual technologies such as Oculus, Samsung Gear VR, and Google Glasses are providing platforms that will not only exist in the educational and professional field, but exist in the average home across the U.S.
