The possibilities are endless.
That’s what one 8th-grader at Bishop Flaget School in Chillicothe had to say about VR Classroom.
It’s the latest creation from Objective Reality Games, a virtual reality company based in Chillicothe.
“I see a lot of potential in the VR learning,” said Colin Rose, who owns the company with his wife, Sara. “We designed it in a way that it’s compatible with every E-based learning platform. So it’s not like we want to replace what the teachers are used to. We just want to make this an enhancement for the student at home.”

North Huron 77, Bay City All Saints 68
BAY CITY The North Huron varsity boys basketball team opened the 2020-2021 season with a 77-68 road win at Bay City All Saints on Friday night.
After staking themselves to a 50-42 lead at halftime, the Warriors held steady in the second half as the Cougars fought to get back in the game.
Noah Koth led the Warriors with 24 points, and Will Case was close behind with 22. Mason Brown had 11 points, Ryan Schorno had 8 and Joe Weiss had 5.
North Huron head coach Matt Shears said the Warriors had the chance to “knock some of the rust off” on Friday night after being sidelined by the suspension of contact sports in Michigan. North Huron’s offense was clicking at the beginning of the game, he said, but the lack of playing time became apparent as fouls and turnovers piled up.
MK Dons 2-2 Sunderland AFC
Sunderland had to settle for a point on Saturday against MK Dons following an end-to-end encounter at Stadium MK.
Charlie Wykeâs 17th goal of the season opened the scoring early on, but the Dons struck back and led with just 19 minutes on the clock courtesy of Joe Mason and Cameron Jerome.
Chances fell to both sides before and after the restart, but Luke OâNien made his count to ensure parity was restored on 56 minutes.
The Lads should have been awarded a penalty soon after for a clear handball inside the 18-yard box, but the officials waved play on.
