Barrington 220 is exploring the power of Apple's Apple Vision Pro device (AVP) to transform teaching and learning. The Apple Vision Pro is Apple’s new spatial computer that blends digital content with the physical world. Unlike traditional screens, it allows users to interact with apps, media, and experiences in a fully immersive, three-dimensional environment.
As part of our Apple Vision Pro investigation, a program officially sponsored by Apple, we’re working to identify educational experiences that are amplified by the use of this technology. One key focus is building a repository of spatial videos that transport learners into historically and culturally significant places.
Here's how you can help!
We’re asking our community to capture spatial video at locations of historical or cultural importance. Imagine students stepping inside places like:
- Salem, Massachusetts to provide background for students reading "The Crucible"
- Civil rights landmarks in the South for students learning about civil rights
- Art museums abroad for students in our art classes
- Scenes while traveling to provide cultural perspective for social studies and world language classes
These immersive videos will allow students to experience places they may never physically visit, creating powerful opportunities for authentic learning.
If you are visiting an interesting place that potentially connects with the Barrington 220 curriculum, and if you have an iPhone that can capture Spatial Video, please contact jjrobinson@barrington220.org
iPhones that can capture Spatial video:
- iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 16 and 16 Plus
- iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max
Attention BHS Teachers!
We’re also looking for BHS teachers who would like to try an Apple Vision Pro demo firsthand. Experiencing the device is the best way to understand its potential for instruction and student engagement.
If you’re interested in scheduling a demo, please reach out to Joe Robinson, Director of Innovation. jjrobinson@barrington220.org
