I am sure Rodney will chime in, but at our last integration meeting, we were talking about finding ways to fund a lab of the brand new Oculus Go headsets.  https://www.oculus.com/go/.    I don't see a camera for augmented reality, but it is certainly one of the nicer VR headsets that I have seen.   The nice thing about the Oculas Go is that it includes a screen so you don't need a separate phone.

If you are looking for cool and cheap then take a look at the Merge Cube and the Merge VR glasses.    Below is a video I made with the Cube.

Good morning.

I work with an Admin who asked about getting into AR-VR (Augmented-Virtual Reality).  I was asked what computer platform for personal/professional use would be best suited.  Currently the Admin has a slightly older MacBook Air and no school issued tablet/cell.

If we were going to set this individual up so that a test into the AR-VR world would work best, what would you suggest as being the best devices (considering cost, ease of use, availability of AR-VR, projected longevity of use, quality...).  This is not for a class set or Student use, but for Admin to explore.

We are currently transitioning towards a higher percentage of Chromebook deployment if that matters.

Thanks.

Keith
