A Spring 2022 study following two VR biology labs at Arizona State University showed elevated student performance and engagement in several areas, compared to results in labs without the VR component.
Two years ago, ASU partnered with Dreamscape Immersive, founded by former Dreamworks Motion Picture head Walter Parkes, for a collaborative venture called Dreamscape Learn (DSL), devoted to merging "the most advanced experiential pedagogy with the entertainment industry's best cinematic storytelling to deliver unique virtual reality and 2D labs and full course experiences which are provably efficacious, readily scalable and emotionally engaging," according to the initiative's mission statement.
