Most teacher training programs today utilize classroom videos to train future teachers. Many of these videos are recorded from a single focus set at the back of a classroom. This form of video often makes it hard for viewers to interpret students' reactions or understanding of a subject matter. Three professors are developing a solution to this issue through the use of extended reality (XR) technology and 360 video.
