Abstract

This article delves into the burgeoning fascination with immersive experiences enabled by virtual and augmented reality technologies, tracing its origins to the painted panoramas and to the later interest in stereographic and panoramic photography. It posits that the combination of historic and modern virtual reality technologies in the history classroom offers a unique opportunity for teachers to engage students deeply in historical places and processes, augmenting their spatial awareness of temporally and geographically distant locations.
