Episode 179: Beyond the Mesh: Are Gaussian Splats the Future of Immersive Learning?
Hello everyone, welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education, where we explore how virtual reality is being used to transform teaching and learning.
Today we’re looking beyond the mesh and exploring whether Gaussian Splats could represent the next major shift in immersive learning. From 3D and 4D Gaussian Splatting to photorealistic spatial capture, we’ll ask whether the future of XR is less about building virtual worlds and more about capturing the real one.
Joining me is XR expert and XR AI Spotlight host Gabriele Romagnoli, who has been following this evolution closely and has a unique perspective on where spatial computing may be heading.

Episode 177- Beyond Awareness: Using VR to Transform Indigenous Care
Hello everyone, welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education, where we explore how virtual reality is being used to transform teaching and learning.
Today I’m joined by Dr. Kim English, a nursing educator and researcher whose work explores Indigenous health equity, anti-racist practice, and immersive learning.
We’ll be focusing on her award-recognized VR simulation around Indigenous care, designed to help nursing students better understand the experiences of Indigenous Peoples within healthcare. We’ll also explore whether immersive learning can help move students beyond awareness toward meaningful changes in practice and behaviour.
