WHY THIS MATTERS:
Yes, taking a field trip in virtual reality from the comfort of a classroom is cool. Guess what is even cooler? Building out VR-driven learning expeditions and making them freely available so that high school and college students everywhere can experience the immersive content. Kudos to Arizona State for sharing their spirit for exploration in such an open way.
