I was hoping for a lot more excitement for each article to bring academics down to the Emerging Media labs (or out to our Community of Practice monthly meetings) but these brief essays cover a narrow range of topics, all of them seeming to gloss over the challenges faced by bringing VR into the classroom. Maybe it is just me and my department, but there is so much pedagogical potential and these chapters are just scratching the surface - let’s see if Ready Player One hits home with a wider audience, or as gleeful YouTube reviewer seem quick to condemn it as the final nail in Spielberg’s career, quite possibly burying consumer VR with it! Yet the one thing the editors get right with the title of this book, and a more hopeful outcome for the technology, is that all of it is emergent, so anyone reading any of these class essay-like article may launch us into a Holodeck-like Oasis.
