Navigating Virtual Reality in Higher Ed: Diagram Exhibition & Simple Regression for Active Learning with VR Headsets
Carsten Lange, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
Imagine a museum with towering 3D diagrams students can manipulate — VR brings that field-trip experience to class and online. The presentation will demo two Meta Quest headset experiences: (1) Diagram Exhibition, a standalone Unity app where instructors curate datasets in advance and display 3D plots with optional interactive regression planes and equations; and (2) Simple Regression in Horizon Worlds, a multiplayer app with student and instructor avatars, breakout rooms, interactive regression lines, and real-time equation updates. Beyond the demos, I will outline what is needed to get started and how to install these and other free apps on your headset. More info: https://vr.lange-analytics.com
