TOTAL IMMERSION

The use of virtual reality is revolutionizing classroom education, simulating learning experiences that are often impossible to replicate in real-life teaching environments, Deng Zhangyu reports.

In biology classes at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China in Beijing, students don't use pictures, videos or even microscopes to learn about the structure of blood cells in circulatory systems.

Instead, each student puts on a headset to visualize its structure as if they were walking inside a cell, an immersive experience realized only thanks to the rapidly developing technology of virtual reality.
