Intel's Tech Learning Lab will give students across the US access to virtual reality (VR) technology with the intention of helping them develop skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. The lab is based in a mobile container truck which has been kitted out with devices such as HTC Vive and Oculus Rift alongside Intel-powered computers and smart whiteboards. By providing hands-on educational experiences, Intel hopes to improve learning outcomes and give educators the chance to use the cutting-edge learning tools. VR for education was first announced by Intel back at CES 2017 where it showcased its new VR headset, called Project Alloy.
