Phil Hintz, director of student information at the Barrington 220 School District in Illinois, is studying for his doctorate how metaverse-style immersive technologies can be used to teach students with intellectual disabilities.
An early adapter and enthusiast of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and other types of immersive technology, Hintz recently attended ASU+GSV summit in San Diego. At the conference, he was struck by several metaverse for education applications currently available or in development.
