Episode 151- What Really Moves Learning? A 3DOF vs. 6DOF Debate
Hello everyone, and welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education, where we explore how virtual reality is transforming teaching and learning.
Today’s episode is a little different—in the best way. We're diving into a timely and important conversation about the role of 3DOF versus 6DOF headsets in education. It’s a topic that often sparks strong opinions, and we’re thrilled to have someone who brings a fresh, thoughtful, and even contrarian perspective to the table.
Joining me is Dave Dolan, CEO of Sensible VR and a lifelong educator who has been deeply focused on issues of attention, accessibility, and equity in immersive learning. While I’ve long championed the potential of 6DOF for deep engagement and interaction, Dave challenges us to consider whether simplicity, scalability, and practicality,hallmarks of 3DOF,might in fact be better suited for real-world classrooms.
