Meta is introducing a new hub for Quest headsets that will provide educators with easier access to education-specific apps and features, as well as tools to manage the headsets in the classroom. The hub aims to enhance students' learning experience by allowing them to explore virtual environments and historical settings that may not be possible in real life.
Meta is launching a new hub for Quest headsets later this year that should make it easier for educators to use them in schools. In a blog post on Monday, Nick Clegg, Meta ’s president of global affairs, writes that the hub will let teachers access “education-specific apps and features,” along with tools to manage all Quest headsets in the classroom. Meta still hasn’t released the name of the educational product, nor a list of specific features.
“And people can giggle and say, ‘Oh, look, there’s Brutus plunging a knife into the back of Julius Caesar,’” Clegg tells Axios. That sure sounds... lovely. Even though some schools are experimenting with virtual reality, Meta’s program might not be something every institution can afford, depending on how much it costs.
