Loren Carpenter, a co-founder of film-production company Pixar, has said the application of virtual reality (VR) in education is "one of the greatest steps in the coming years", and predicted its implementation would happen "very quickly". Carpenter gave a lecture about the benefits of VR from his California home to students at Windsor Forest Colleges Group in Slough, before they watched a simulated moon visit, led by a Dubai-based teacher. However, Carpenter said augmented reality was a little further behind VR, and was "three-to-four the coming years off being practical".
