When used properly, virtual reality is an amazingly powerful tool for boosting STEM education. It can send students to new environments, to landmarks they've never seen before, and to sites they'd otherwise never be able to explore. And, that's just what a basic viewer is capable of doing. Bring the incredible capabilities of the Oculus VR Bundle into the conversation and it becomes a whole new ballgame. 

Oculus Rift has risen the bar for immersive education and created unparalleled access for students to explore any environment they could imagine! Designed to transport users directly to the forefront of the scenes they see, Rift offers up a VR experience unlike anything they’ve ever experienced before. Whether students are diving into the depths of the human body or driving a car on the other side of the world, with Rift, they’ll feel like they’re truly there. Groundbreaking presence-sensing technology and advanced design create an experience that’s both comfortable and unbelievably immersive. The best part is that the Oculus Rift is 100 percent employable in any classroom and it's the perfect way to double student engagement and future readiness.

The Oculus Rift utilizes the latest Oculus technology and vividly stunning graphics to create a VR experience unlike any other. The handheld controllers enable Touch—a haptic experience that makes users feel like they’re truly on the excursions they’re experiencing. They can feel as though they’re picking up the objects they see and even use the controllers for interactive gameplay complete with leaderboards and real-time feedback! Rift also includes two presence sensors that pick up a user's place in the environment around them and its tracking system enables the sensation of presence in a virtual world. With Oculus Rift’s intuitive controllers, navigating a world of virtual reality will feel as natural as walking down the street. Rift is powered by a PC and requires Windows 7 SP1 64 bit or newer, three USB ports, a high-level graphics card, and Intel i5-4590 or greater CPU.

Traditional VR viewers are great because they are highly portable. If you can get past the lack of portability, however, the Oculus Bundle will blow those other options away. At a fairly reasonable price, this bundle contains the Oculus headset, two touch controllers, two proximity sensors, an HP INC Intel processor, and HP EliteDesk 800 G3. The power and graphics these elements add to the VR experience is indescribable as it provides just about everything you need for a truly transformative, tethered, virtual reality experience!
