The 10 Best VR Apps for Classrooms Using Merge VR’s New Merge Cube | EdSurge News

The 10 Best VR Apps for Classrooms Using Merge VR’s New Merge Cube | EdSurge News | Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality Network | Scoop.it
Recently, the world of virtual reality was shaken up when the popular Merge Cube by Merge VR dropped in price from $15 to just a dollar at many Walmart stores. When using specific apps, these cubes showcase different experiences as you rotate the block around with your hands. If you haven’t held a Merge Cube yet, they're made of a soft rubber material that’s comparable to a stiffer stress ball. (If you want to test out the apps first, you can print out a temporary paper cube.)

Presence In those wIth and wIthout sIght: AudIo descrIptIon and its potentIal for VIrtual Reality ApplIcatIons

"Presence is affected by deficits in cognition and perception. It is thought to be associated with a preference for the visual domain, but has been not been extensively studied in those without sight. Audio description (Ad) is a verbal commentary conveying visual information, enabling blind and partially sighted people to access visual media. Ad is currently only provided for low-immersion media, e.g., films. this project compared levels of presence for the same film clip watched with no Ad, “standard” Ad (describing characters, locations and actions) and a “cinematic” Ad, which also includes details of camera shots. surprisingly, those with impaired sight reported higher presence levels when watching the stimuli with Ad, than sighted people watching the stimulus with no Ad. engagement scores reported by blind and partially sighted people for cinematic Ad were highest overall. this suggests the need to revisit Ad guidelines, which currently advise Ad providers not to include filmic terms. It also suggests Ad has potential for people who are blind or partially sighted to engage in more immersive Virtual reality (Vr) environments."

Closing one’s eyes and seeing something that doesn’t exist in one’s current reality is a skill that many people throughout time have had to develop in their learning paths. Now, virtual reality is taking imagination a step further and allowing people to experience augmented situations in a very practical way.
