A recent Stanford test looked at schools with access to extra curricular activities such as field trips and schools that did not have access to these and found that schools without those stimuli tested far worse than those that had access.” Contact: Steven Sato StevenSato.com The VR Podcast: @thevrpodcast Email: stevensato@gmail.com Twitter: @stevensato   Items mentioned in Episode 24: Stanford’s V/R “Becoming Homeless” Vader Immortal Survios Embodied Labs Tree V/R Official Ready Player One The Last Goodbye Tiltbrush Kevin Mack Samsung Gear 360 Garmin Verv Azine Davoudzadeh - @azined Mark Suter - @Garlicsuter Chad Lewis - @VRczAR Sharecare YOU Life 3.0 - by Max Tegmark Experience On Demand - by Jeremy Bailenson   We would love to hear from you!  Let us know if this format is helpful to you!  Is there technology out there that you would like us to cover in one of our episodes?     Email us Shannon@MyTechToolbelt.com Brenda@MyTechToolbelt.com If you enjoyed this episode, tell a friend, and SUBSCRIBE TO THE SHOW!  And please consider leaving us a rating and review.
