GeoGebra VR is an applications that displays various forms of geometrical shapes and allows you to create new shapes using their mathematical keyboard feature to input algebraic equations and then displaying the given output. There are simple questions associated with each of the shapes and objects prebuilt in order to better understand the equations and shapes. It is relatively limited in its overall capabilities for a college level student, but can still display very unique and detailed 3d graphs and shapes.

VIVE Sync

Departments: Business, Media and Communication

Tags: 1 star, business, communications, educational, internet required, marketing, meeting, meeting room, no height requirement, no mobility requirement, online, public speaking, requires controllers, requires vision, sound requirement

VIVE Sync is a virtual meeting room and public speaking platform, in which you can create a smaller room for classroom setting, or a larger room for a lecture or speech environment. This can be very useful for anyone trying to get better at public speaking, or with the pandemic and social distances, for people to have engaging meetings with teachers/students, or coworkers. However, this app was extremely unreliable, as creating a meeting would not properly load, as well as joining a meeting. Overall, a great concept, but users can experience many difficulties making the technology work.

Virtual Reality Neuron Tracer is an application that allows users to explore datasets mapping the neurons in a cell, and trace certain parts of it to focus on. While there isn’t much content provided by the application initially, with only a couple sample datasets available to test out, there is support for users to upload their own datasets, making this far more useful for researchers or users who want to explore specific sets of data.
