Virtual & Augmented Reality technologies have given us exciting new ways to play video games and watch television shows but they’re useful for more than just entertainment. App developers & other computer scientists continue to experiment with these promising new tools by creating digital exhibits of art and science. Thanks to their efforts, virtual museums and classrooms can be conjured up in code for anyone to access, enjoy and learn from, all in the comfort of their homes! These computer scientists have even made helpful software that simplifies the creation process so that almost anyone can make a virtual experience of their own to share with others. We think some major thanks are due to these innovators and others like them.

Your challenge this month is to make a VR exhibit in honor of a scientist, inventor or historical figure you admire.
