2.3. To access Virtual Reality experiences
Simply open the QR Scanner app on the headset and look at the
QRKey on the relevant lesson plan. You will hear a beep and the
related VR experiences will become available.
2.4. To access Augmented Reality resources
When you see the ARC logo on a plan or worksheet, that means you
can launch Augmented Reality content simply by looking at it! First
open the ARC app from the home screen of your VR headset, then
look at the image on the teaching resource to bring it to life.
