This technology is an option for teachers who wish to incorporate instruction through experiential learning and give students real experiences who otherwise might not have the opportunity. Virtual Reality has been used across many industries as a form of training, such as medicine, pedestrian safety, construction, manufacturing, military training programs, tractors and machinery operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Justin Pulley, Assistant Professor of Agricultural Mechanics, will lead this research opportunity that will focus on developing new educational VR content and evaluating the User Experience, with the hope of introducing Agricultural Education teachers across the state to VR use of content in the classroom.<strong> <\/strong>By developing immersive content and using immersive technology to teach, we are engaging students in a different way than they have before.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The foundations of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), are based on an artificial and digital environment provided by a computer in which a user\u2019s actions &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1578,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,40],"tags":[47,46],"class_list":["post-1575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-news","category-research","tag-agricultural-mechanics","tag-virtual-reality"],"acf":[],"author_meta":{"display_name":"keegan","author_link":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/author\/keegan-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2\/"},"featured_img":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/228\/2022\/12\/VR-300x200.jpg","coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/category\/in-the-news\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">In the News<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/category\/research\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Research<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">In the News<\/span>","<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Research<\/span>"]},"tags":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/category\/research\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Agricultural Mechanics<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/category\/research\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Virtual Reality<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Agricultural Mechanics<\/span>","<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Virtual Reality<\/span>"]}},"comment_count":0,"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 3 years ago","modified":"Updated 5 months ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on December 2, 2022","modified":"Updated on November 12, 2025"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on December 2, 2022 5:59 pm","modified":"Updated on November 12, 2025 5:27 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"Student using VR headset in a workshop setting.","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1575"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1575\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3707,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1575\/revisions\/3707"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/coanr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
