The development of technology has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for us. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to learn remotely with online courses, but some schools in Vietnam are going one step further to make learning more interesting. By using 3D technology and visual reality technology, Vietnamese schools are creating a whole new kind of classroom experience.

Back in 2013, a high school in Ho Chi Minh City became the first Vietnamese school to use 3D technology in the classroom. The teachers there used this technology to teach science subjects. They created amazing 3D models, such as a human heart model, to help students get a clearer understanding of what they were learning in class. This was an amazing new development in teaching as this 3D technology allowed teachers to explain difficult information to students in an interesting way.

In 2019, moreover, there was another major development when a university in Hanoi began offering virtual reality technology (VR) trial classes to people who were interested in studying there. The university has used 360-degree virtual reality technology to allow people in other parts of Vietnam to experience all of the sights and sounds of learning in a real classroom.

By combining 3D and virtual reality technology, today's schools are creating an interesting learning experience in which anyone can participate. It's exciting to think that every school in the world might be using virtual classrooms in the near future!
