Webinar Summary:
Using virtual reality to extend rangeland outreach beyond the field.

Rangelands and natural resources professionals often deliver content about remote landscapes while teaching in classrooms or settings far from the field. This webinar shows how virtual reality can deliver field-based experiences to those audiences, helping you meet outreach and education goals with existing capacity. You’ll see how others are applying these tools and what it takes to use them in your own programs.
