Background A computer generated simulation of a three-dimensional space that can be interacted with in a seemingly realistic way Virtual reality is a platform for any programs or uses that developers come up with (the same way there are millions of programs on a computer or apps on a phone) We chose to demo one program called Google Tiltbrush

Horizon Report Projection In 3 years the number of applications targeted specifically to education will be significant A survey of US K–12 educators found that 85% of teachers agree that VR would help their students 84% believe the technology would increase student motivation.

Google Tilt Brush is a virtual art space program developed by google It allows you to draw anywhere you can reach in a 3d space allowing for an immersive and open ended canvas http://www.wendyrobertsfineart.com/vive-google-tilt-brush-virtual-reality-art/
