Spatial learning has never suffered from a shortage of compelling use cases. Anatomy, chemistry, engineering and many other subjects are inherently three-dimensional (3D), yet students are still often asked to learn and understand them through text, two-dimensional diagrams or flat video. The main obstacle has been economics: creating enough high-quality interactive 3D content to cover…
