With a donation from Qualcomm Technologies, students will be given an Oculus Quest 2, powered by the Qualcomm\u00ae&nbsp; Snapdragon\u2122&nbsp;XR2 Platform, where they can access the fully immersive, digitized version of the Morehouse campus and select classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe that immersive education through VR is a transformative way to learn,\u201d said Brian Vogelsang, senior director of product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see Qualcomm\u00ae\u00a0XR Enterprise Program partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victoryxr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VictoryXR<\/a>, continue to help scale VR education, especially with an acclaimed college like Morehouse.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first two classes to be taught on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victoryxr.com\/education\/k-12-education-solutions\/twincampus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital twin VR campus<\/a> will be Biology 105 focusing on men\u2019s health, taught by Dr. Ethell Vereen, and History 112 focusing on world history and taught by Dr. Ovell Hamilton. Followed by Inorganic chemistry by Dr. Musinah Morris and a literature class by Dr. Tanya Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStanding together with students and learning about deadly serious health issues with a human reproductive system in the classroom will take learning to a new level. We are very excited to pioneer learning in VR,\u201d said Dr. Ethel Vereen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHigher ed must not be afraid to take remote learning to a more immersive and effective level,\u201d said Dr. Ovell Hamilton. \u201cWith this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victoryxr.com\/metaversity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">virtual reality campus<\/a>, students will be able to travel back in time and stand on a Naval carrier or travel to places across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Morehouse College provides the students, faculty, and curriculum, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victoryxr.com\/education\/higher-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital campus<\/a> and learning objects are provided by VictoryXR. Steve Grubbs, the company CEO, commented, \u201cThis partnership gives the rest of the academic world a glimpse into the future of education. These classes will be surprisingly close to those imagined in the book,\u00a0<em>Ready Player One<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like a real campus, a VR campus allows students to attend class together in real time, conduct science experiments, and dig for fossils. Unlike a real campus, students on the VR campus can expand a human heart and step inside it, jump into a time machine and visit wooly mammoths, or beam up to a starship and learn astronomy close up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about this initiative please contact Cedric Mobley, cedric.mobley@morehouse.edu, or Steve Grubbs, steve@victoryxr.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Qualcomm and Snapdragon are trademarks or registered trademarks of Qualcomm Incorporated.<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Qualcomm Snapdragon is a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and\/or its subsidiaries.
