The game features many gamified lessons where you can hold molecules, create atoms, and learn the nomenclature of salts, etc. These VR lessons are made with the help of qualified science teachers and have been tested and proven effective.
So, if you suck at physics & still can’t remember the molecular name of some substance, then Futuclass Education is what you should go for. (LOL)

I think this could be a spectacular party game too, with everyone taking turns and showing off their dance moves!
So get ready to learn tons of moves, groove to the beats, and have an amazing time dancing in the virtual world of Dance Central!
4. National Geographic Explore VR
One of the assurances of Virtual Reality as a blossoming medium is that it can theoretically transfer you to places you may never be able to see with your own eyes.
True to form, the now-Disney-owned National Geographic has taken it upon itself to be among the first to provide such experiences with the National Geographic Explore VR Experience for Meta Quest!
I strongly and genuinely recommend National Geographic Explore VR because all of the experiences are loaded with sheer excitement, marvel, and astonishment.
