Where in the World Will You Go Today? VR Experiences

Have you ever wanted to dive deep down into the ocean and explore the coral reefs or hike the Yellowstone National Park?  Students and staff celebrated Earth Day with a virtual reality tour of our earth by taking a guided tour with virtual glasses and seeing realistic 3D images.

Some of the tours students and staff experienced were:
Coral Reefs
Take a tour of some of the most biodiverse areas in our oceans. Coral reefs have all types of marine life.
National Parks
Experience the majesty of America's vast terrains and beautiful landscapes through trips to three of its most prestigious national parks.
Antarctica
Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent, and contains the geographic South Pole. It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. It is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the continents.
Galapagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, is a province of Ecuador, lying about 1,000km off its coast, and considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. Take a trip into the historic and beautiful island.
