9 Best VR headsets you can buy right now

Augmented Reality is still a novelty, but the next 12 months will see the technology grow beyond games and gimmicks
The battle between teachers and students over smartphones in the classroom may be heading for a negotiated peace--at least in some classrooms. New apps are helping to supplement course material in engaging, decidedly more interactive ways.
JigSpace, for example, lets kids explore virtual 3D models of objects on a table. FigmentAR, which allows you to create virtual portals to new worlds, has become popular with teachers. By setting up portals around the room, teachers have ready-made learning stations. Kids can leap from the classroom to an underwater world to study whales while filling in workbooks. Then, at the next portal, they can get up close with some ancient ruins.
