I’m exploring different headsets for use in a school classroom for subjects like Geography, History, or Sports on rainy days. Are there specific brands or models that work well for larger groups, allowing up to 25 people to join in one room? Or does this depend more on the game or app rather than the headset?
Is it feasible to use VR with such a large group, or would AR be a better option for that many people moving around?
I have no experience with VR but am considering its use in certain educational contexts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Alisha, I will recommend Explore AR for Large Groups, For subjects like Geography, History, or Sports, AR might be more practical, as it allows students to interact with both the digital and physical world. Tools like AR-enabled tablets or even AR glasses could be used
Hey, From my end I recommend you to Consider Smaller VR Groups, If VR is still of interest, consider starting with smaller groups to ensure manageability. The Meta Quest 2 is a good entry-level VR headset for education, as it’s wireless and has a range of educational apps available.
Hello there,Unless it’s changed recently, the Quest isn’t great for business use. It lacks strong software for managing multiple headsets remotely and requires a Meta account for each one.
Pico handles this much better, but you’ll likely need to develop your own software.
Overall, I’d recommend avoiding VR in the classroom—the educational options just aren’t there yet.
Hello, The capacity to support multiple users in the same virtual environment typically hinges more on the specific game or app than on the headset itself. Many VR applications have limitations on the number of users, which could limit how many participants can join a single session.
