Inspiration

In next 5 years, Virtual Reality will become the next Common Interface for everything. Applying VR in education will help augment the 'real' experience, interaction and help students understand lectures better.

If a picture is worth thousand words, then we believe VR can tell you the whole story.

What it does

VirtualBook is an open platform where people can contribute/submit their knowledge as lectures/slides in supported 3D VR models and others can use them for educational purposes.

The platform includes

Open platform for open contributors to harness the power of the crowd
Universal format for all types of 3D lectures
iPad app for experience-rich presentation

Challenges I ran into

Pull graph data from NASA satellites
Solicit good content
Be the pioneer in defining the format for all VR 3D platforms

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Lucid animation in mobile apps
Provide unique experience using the Oculus Rift, a novel technology few Vietnamese have harnessed
Using real data to present the content of sample lectures
