What role will virtual/augmented reality play in academia?

With the rapid development of higher quality VR and AR headsets, do you believe that it will soon be adopted in the classroom?

    It hasn't been already? I believe a lot of parents are starting to want to have their children learn remotely with all of the horrible things happening at schools today. This would be a perfect way for students to be able to interact with their teacher and classmates without worry.

    That is a great idea and a great reason my kid is only 1 and I already fear this too. But my wife is a 2nd grade teacher and the remote learning has had disastrous results. Besides the kids having absolutely no care for authority, 2nd graders most of them cannot read or even know their alphabet, my wife along with all the other teachers have to waster their time getting them up to speed being 2 years behind. I was gone for a illness for like a week missed multiplying/ dividing fractions and I struggled through high school with my AP math... that was just a week. Teachers are struggling to get their kids just up to par.

    Great point! There should be some sort of VRChat for educational purposes.
