View-Master VR viewer kits for schools

Google’s virtual reality education efforts may have only just begun this fall, but they’re about to grow in a big, big way. The search giant is expanding its Expeditions Pioneer Program to schools in 12 US cities (including Las Vegas, New Orleans and Portland) as well as three in Canada, Denmark and Singapore. Each school will get a kit with everything it needs to take students on VR field trips, including ASUS smartphones as well as either Google Cardboard or View-Master’s device. The project is still far from ubiquitous, but it’s big enough to make us a little jealous — where were these kinds of virtual adventures when we were kids?
