What could the web become in a Virtual Reality environment? The web in general and Wikipedia specifically covers a vast amount of information. We will begin with something specific: a forest. post
VR and education are naturally matched. VR is a chance to scale experiential learning. Remembering what you learned in class is much harder than remembering your favorite vacation.
In this Wikipedia example, you immediately get a sense of the animal's grandeur, which is hard to convey in words and images. You can get a feeling for quickly it runs, and what it sounds like.
Imagine diving into the hide of the moose, learning about symbiotic insects and hair follicles, then going deeper to learn about the structure of hair on a molecular level.
Or vice versa, zooming out to look at planet Earth to see where moose live, or going into an abstract view to explore Family Cervidae.
