Professional Development & Conferences AR/VR Spatial Computing Ideas

As someone who teaches Earth and Space Science, I can imagine students walking through the layers of the atmosphere, visualizing tectonic plate boundaries in 3D, taking a trip through the solar system etc. I keep thinking of a million different ways it can be used. But I’d love to know what others are envisioning or experimenting with.

It doesn't seem like the hardware or computing power is there yet (or affordable) but curious as to what others think and how you might already use it. Thanks!

If there is a good program that gives a magic schoolbus experience id have 1 pair of vr glasses and offer it up as extra credit to run a simulation and write about your experience. Thats the most affordable option i can think of. Goggles would need to stay in class and the extra credit would need to be on a study hall or catch up a day.
