What does it mean to ‘be there’, and how can it affect learning and retention? Instead of flying across the globe to understand the nuances of history or a new surgical technique, educators and businesses of all sizes are investing in VR to connect and learn in real time. The next step in the revolution: presence. Imagine walking into an underground club in Digital Harlem in the 1920s, looking down and seeing yourself in a zoot suit with friends in flapper gowns, taking a seat at a table with Dizzie Gillespie on stage - just before a raid. With volumetric capture and streaming, you are more a part of the scene than ever before, and you will remember it years into the future. Welcome to the digital engagement revolution.
