I believe that the potential for Virtual reality for understanding the past is immeasurable. Virtual reality gives users the opportunity to be completely immersed in a new world, and would undoubtedly aid people in learning more about the past; rather than reading a textbook, watching a video, or listening to a lecture about history, websites such as The Lost Museum and The Chernobyl Project allow users to explore the past in a completely new way, as if they were a part of it. I believe that students and people in general find this method much more interesting, being able to explore new dimensions of events or places that they otherwise could not. These virtual reality programs are also extremely beneficial because they offer accessibility for anybody with access to the internet; you no longer have to travel to Japan to see the aftereffects of Nagasaki, and can see the streets of Chernobyl without risk of disease. Overall, I believe virtual reality is very useful and valuable to those who wish to learn more about history, and I am excited to see how it expands from here.
