Virtual Reality is a new tool for learning. Public Libraries are key locations for making virtual reality technology more accessible to the public. Virtual reality in a public space gives patrons the opportunity to become familiar with the technology. I have no personal experience with virtual reality. At first I questioned how virtual reality could be helpful in the library but after reading this article it has many uses like giving people a chance to see places they may have never seen. Giving someone a chance to do something that otherwise they may be limited maybe physically or financially to do. Probably also very appealing to bring the youth into the library. I would like to try VR one day just to see what its all about.
