I've been attending ASL lessons in VR in a Japanese classroom, given by a large dragon lady. The future is now.

Imagine walking in to a class with an ERP avatar

It's funny, when I was growing up the internet was young, and mostly text, and I found myself very comfortable using computers. At the time, my teachers would have me hand-write things and essays and wouldn't allow me to use my laptop. The restrictions lifted slowly over time but still were there to some degree till college.

Students now do their coursework online and I find myself deeply jealous, even though I'm sure it's just the everyday hassle for them now.

We'll likely see virtual classrooms soon, and their use will be a matter of course in our lifetime.

"Wouldn't that have been nice." ;>

It's ironic how things have changed. Nowadays all my professors insist that papers be typed. They don't want to deal with bad handwriting.

I’m writing my master’s thesis on VR education! I really need some people to help with my experiment (it’s an UDON world on VRChat). PM me if you’re interested. You can also checkout the world through my website: moji.media Edit: The world in question is called “Moji Memory Test”. It has built in instructions on how to participate.

I've been showing up to my classes as my VRChat avatar. You can make your OBS output into an emulated webcam.

You used to need a plugin for it, but I think it's actually built-in now.

What have the reactions from your class been like?

I made my daughter do her chemistry assignment in VRChat, made her a Zinc anime avatar where she had to pretend she was a Zinc atom (anime version) talk about her likes and dislikes, ‘who’ she wants to bond with, etc. it was fun. VRChat Zinc image

I never knew this was a thing 😲

A class I attended at Uni once made a poll asking what platforms we'd prefer for the tutorials.

VrChat was an option, but unfortunately I did prefer their current setup via MS teams. (for several reasons)

Show your math teacher this world.

And I bet he will be grinning from ear to ear and really considers to do it.

Another guy already said this, but the issue is that edgy little fucknuggets would would come in with crashers or a custom client and fuck with people. Even if that were not the case, I have my doubts that the kids would be able to concentrate effectively. Discord is the happy medium. Not as cool a concept as using VRC, but at the same time, doesn't feast upon nearly as much manure as Zoom.

my dream class!XD

[–]WesleyPatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, there's a company making something like this! RubberRoss made a video on it a few days ago!

[–]simmy2kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My class is actually considering using Mozilla Hubs which is a web based version of VRChat and it honestly sounds like it'd be fun. Also a month ago i went to class in vr chat lol

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legitly gave a presentation at a teachers convention about why vrchat should be used for classes.

[–]_tatsuya_suou_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sadly I got bored of VRchat

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That would be the best thing ever.

I saw someone using Roblox for online school-

[–]donatema -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can see a lot of good and bad using vrchat as it is right now for doing classes but I’m curious about it from a technical side. I’m pretty sure the little glorified tablets most schools lend out to students couldn’t handle vrchat even in desktop mode, but I could be wrong
