A new platform under development is Framevr.io. Frame VR is designed to be a space for immersive presentations and meetings. Teachers can prepare galleries or lessons, and students can create presentations or engage in collaborative discussions. The owner of the environment can add pictures, PDF’s, 3D models, videos, 360 photo spheres, and interactable whiteboards, in one of several environments FrameVR has to offer. The mobile affordances of this program allow the user to interact as if they are a moveable avatar in the space with all of the same interactions as a desktop user participating in the world, meaning participants can engage through their mobile devices, computer, or VR headset.
Give your students an interactive and immersive virtual education environment. Go beyond video calls and bring them into a 3D world where learning feels more natural and tangible.

Though this program is in BETA mode, I have used this space on several occasions for presentations. For an example, visit: https://framevr.io/vrandmobile
This program is amazing for students, especially remote learners, so they can build an interactive space where students can congregate to explore learning. I have seen a few examples where teachers had students submit their work and the teacher built the environment for students, parents, and guardians to visit a space of classroom learning remotely during the pandemic. This program has a great deal of flexibility and helps people feel present, even if they are miles apart.
