Minecraft Changes



 Minecraft is becoming very popular with it's new interest in immersive education.  Tourist attractions in parts of the world are being added to the program with the help from Colorado University and Stanford.  They are making a virtual version of all these different sites in in Minecraft. Restaurants are recognizing their fort like restaurant in the virtual world.  It shows how well the virtual worlds are doing in creating real and believable worlds.

Schools will be able to check out for free.  I think this is good because immersive education fits the needs of many people who are unable to go to class every week for one reason or another.  Meeting in virtual worlds allows more students to interact, and allowing them to try to program for free can give them a taste of the program and how it works without spending money on it.

This is an assignment from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
