Education and Virtual RealityBy Michael BodekaerLabster CTO and Learn Technologies CEO

The World is Facing

Great Challenges

And we all rely on the next generation of young scientiststo come up with new great innovations to solve challenges

But science education is found to be

boring, ineffective and expensiveSource: Moskovitz, SCIENCE, 2011, Institute for Technology and Engineering (2008)

Are we really innovating education?

E-books, YouTube and MOOCs all just bring same content out to more students. Teaching method is still the same as 50 years ago. No real innovation there.

“For jets, more than 90% of the experimental comparisons

favored simulator and aircraft training over aircraft training alone.”Source: Hays, Robert T., US Naval Training Systems Ctr, Human Factors Div, Orlando, FL, US (1992)

Why not just build a virtual laboratory simulator?

We could instantly give millions of students access

to cutting-edge laboratories at almost no costs!
