Bad Mergentheim. District Director Christoph Schuder, along with Department Head Ursula Mohlic and Head of Trade School Bad Mergentheim, Peter Worl, explored the possible uses of virtual reality goggles.
“Main-Tauber-Kreis operates as a school body with financial support from Digital Charter Schools to digitize vocational schools in order to be well-equipped for the future when it comes to student training,” said District Director Schuder. Investments are funded by the federal and state governments. The financing amount is usually 80 percent of the purchase costs.

Virtual reality glasses are two small displays that are built into a body and positioned like glasses. These are also known as “head-mounted displays” and make it possible to immerse yourself in a virtual world. With the help of the motion sensors in the glasses and using two hand controllers, you can move freely in the virtual world.

Principal Wöhrle and subject teachers Andreas Amann and Michael Schurk explained to the district director the specific uses of the new eyeglasses. It is designed in such a way that it is easy to clean and disinfect and therefore is used by different classes.

There are already many programs in the field of e-health through which school children can almost enter a person’s body. As a result, the human body with its organs, muscles and bones becomes more flexible. With virtual reality glasses, you can actually immerse yourself in the body. It can also simulate the “target disease” of the organs.
There are exciting application areas for electronics technician and electrician apprenticeships. Pupils can use virtual reality glasses to make repairs, for example in control cabinets, in a virtual substation. In the department of metallurgy and cars, for example, schoolchildren can almost disassemble and reassemble gearboxes. “The new thing is the gamification that the learning will take. In simpler terms: learning becomes more fun,” says Principal Wöhrle. Some companies in the region are already training trainees with the help of virtual reality. for
