What a wonderful view!

6th Formers have been doing research and writing biographies of important people who have changed the world. 

One of our children chose to work on Vincent Van Gogh, a Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. 

And all of a sudden, using a Cardboard Virtual Reality headset, we found ourselves walking into Van Gogh’s great piece of Art and experiencing a marvelous Starry Night from the inside! It was magical!

But was is Virtual Reality?

Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of technology to create a simulated environment which places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds, like the one in Van Gogh’s piece of art.
