Educational Gaming?: Classroom Aquatic

By Eleanor Hoskins — Posted on: Apr 01, 2015

In light of Austin’s posts on augmented and virtual reality, it seems relevant to showcase an existing educational game that already uses wearable technology.

Classroom Aquatic cheating

But I wasn’t peeking on porpoise!

Classroom Aquatic is “the world’s first trivia/stealth game” for Oculus Rift. In it, the player is a human foreign exchange student diving into dolphin society for a first-hand educational and aqua-cultural experience. Faced with a series of extremely difficult trivia questions, the student has to distract the class to discreetly over other students’ shoal-ders. You could certainly call this underwater course an immersive experience!
Hopefully, future VR education will be exciting and sophisticated enough to discourage this old-school cheating.
