THE Anatel gave the go-ahead for sales of a virtual reality (VR) glasses for schools. manufactured by Positivethe device known as ClassVR received the approval certificate from the National Telecommunications Agency this Monday (21). Among the highlights of the gadget are the technical sheet with a processor from Qualcomm and software to make the classroom more interactive.
The device is identified by the model “CVR-255-64” and the trade name “class VR”. The agency’s files do not give much detail about the product, with the exception of mentioning Positivo as the manufacturer. O Technoblogon the other hand, found more information about the headset on ClassVR’s own website.
Conceptualized in 2014 and founded in 2017 in London, the British company focuses on the education market. Its portfolio brings several solutions to bring technology to classrooms, such as VR glasses🇧🇷 The company has projects in several countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, Spain, the United States, England and the like.
With Positivo’s support, Brazil may be the next country to receive the company’s solutions. And all this is already half done, apparently. After all, the ClassVR website even has a manual in Portuguese available for download.
ClassVR comes with a carrying case for the headsets
The manual anticipates some details of the device. Right off the bat, it can already be said that the glasses are not very different from other products with the same proposal available on the market. In other words, these are gigantic glasses that you attach to your head to immerse yourself in a virtual world.
The device brings navigation buttons on its own surface. Users also have a headphone jack (3.5 mm) and motion sensors to control the interface. But it is also possible to use a handheld controller that can be connected directly to the virtual reality🇧🇷
As this is a classroom product, it is to be expected that a school would buy several units. The good news is that ClassVR offers a case that serves to store and charge the battery of the device. In addition, it is possible to buy the product in kits with four, eight or thirty units.
Headset features Qualcomm processor for VR
The manufacturer offers another document on its website, giving more details about the CVR-255-64 model product. In it, the manufacturer says that it is a device to bring more interactivity to classrooms through virtual reality. Next, the file informs the technical data sheet of the product.
The specs list is topped by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1, the same processor as Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2🇧🇷 The chip is accompanied by 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, which can be expanded via microSD card. The device also has a 13-megapixel front camera, a battery that promises about four hours of battery life, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2.
This is all controlled by the ClassVR Teacher Portal software. The solution offers options for using the tool in the classroom to conduct research and guide students “through experiences using defined dynamic points of interest”. Oh, of course, teachers have full control over the content that will be displayed on the device’s screen.
The idea is pretty cool and can knock down classroom walls without being limited to computers and tablets. But, despite the homologationit is not yet known when the ClassVR will arrive in Brazil.
