With the Rios Theta V camera, students will take 360-degree photos of their world, upload them to Google's new virtual reality program, Tour Creator, and create a look into their everyday world and experiences, as well as share their view of the global world. Completed Tours will then be viewed via Homido VR headsets so that students can immerse themselves in another world. One of the best ways to gain a better understanding of the world is to make connections with others. Students will be able to share their VR tours with other students around the globe. Thus, gaining insight into what life is like for others similar and not so similar to them. The possibilities with the Theta camera and VR headsets for students and teachers are endless.
