Today on History Tech Glenn talks 3D and virtual reality.  VR can model the world in an incredibly visual way.  You can virtually hike the Grand Canyon or take a class trip to ancient Egypt.  And, it can also allow those worlds to be expanded and shrunk, played with and entered.

Google Expeditions – With Expeditions, teachers can take students on immersive, virtual journeys.
Google Street View – Explore world landmarks, discover natural wonders, and step inside locations such as museums, event arenas, and small businesses with Street View.
