“We found purchasing the VR bundle of ByteSpeed VR-ready computers, Virtual Reality headsets, and ByteSpeed Professional Development to be one of the greatest purchase decisions we have made to add to our technology setup. The sales staff and technical support have been very responsive and knowledgeable. The onsite PD training for staff was invaluable. Teachers came away from the training fired up and ready to implement VR into their curriculum. We have utilized these machines for VR, especially in the middle grades into high school. Personally, as a teacher, I have used the machines to also run game-making websites and downloads, and the robustness of the desktops handles this without issue.”

“Sisseton School District has been working with ByteSpeed for many years. We have purchased laptops and desktop from them. The computers have worked great for our staff and students. When we have had an issue, their service department is great to work with. A call or an email gets you connected to someone who works the process with you. My students have also toured ByteSpeed’s facility and we have developed a connection with them. I also attended a Virtual Reality Showcase. ByteSpeed’s Virtual Reality Solution is focused on education, and provides Professional Development training with the implementation of the Virtual Reality hardware. State and federal standards (such as science, math, reading, or social studies) are the focus of integrating VR technology into the classroom. After attending ByteSpeed’s Virtual Reality Showcase, our school district purchased seven VR setups that we currently use in a lab setting. Our focus is on the STEM standards and we are currently using the free VR apps to start integrating the systems into more classes. The students have loved this addition to our curriculum.”

This flexibility is key in the age of remote work, as employees may not always be able to safely attend in-person events or meetings.
HR departments, in particular, have been quick to recognize the value of VR in the workplace and embrace this new technology. Instead of . . .
