Free Virtual Reality (VR) Headsets to Schools

Oculus May Give Virtual Reality Headsets To Schools For Free

Steven Tweedie | June 5, 2014

Oculus, the company behind the popular Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, may end up distributing its VR devices for free to schools.
Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus, mentioned in an email to a graduate student that the company does "have plans around education" and that its "considering giving free Rifts to educational institutions." 
While most people associate the Oculus Rift with immersive gaming, the headset already has people excited for other uses and experiences such as virtual vacations and field trips, concerts, or even productivity workspaces. In theory, students could someday soon visit historical landmarks and cities lost by time, or virtually explore the solar system—all from the safety of the classroom.
