[Air-L] VR equipment recommendations

[Amanda Licastro]

Happy Friday everyone,

I am currently working on an internal grant project to increase access to
Virtual Reality technology at my university. We currently have 35 Google
Cardboard viewers, and I implement free content in the classroom (I
recommend NYTVR and InMind).

However, in order for students to create their own content, I need to
purchase 360 degree cameras and editing software. I am also interested in
finding more advanced headsets and haptic feedback gloves for use in the
classroom.

In terms of camera, here are some recommendations I have found:

In terms of software, Unity seems to be the best platform
https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/virtual-reality . However, I am
not finding a lot of recommendations on editing 360 degree video.

Any and all suggestions or resources are welcome.

Thank you,
Amanda
