Shark Sense VR is an immersive game console that teaches players about sharks’ highly developed sense of hearing, smell, sight and feeling. Central to the interactive experience is a virtual reality helmet in the shape of a shark’s head equipped with sensory technology. Players navigate through the ocean from a shark’s perspective. As they hunt for virtual prey in a 3D underwater environment, they learn about using the right senses at the right time. The interactive display demonstrates strikingly how virtual reality can be used for education effectively.
