Teacher gives a mathematics lesson in Half-Life: Alyx

We are used to seeing computer games as a good way to distract ourselves from problems and relax. But, as practice shows, they can also serve as a good platform for gaining knowledge.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, educational establishments all over the world are closed for quarantine. However, many of them function remotely, continuing to provide students with knowledge via the internet. But which formats are best?? As the experience of Charles Coomber, a teacher from The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, shows, the computer game Half-Life: Alyx will do perfectly for this purpose.

Alyx is the new game in the Half-Life series, which offers great opportunities for the use of virtual reality headsets, making the process more fun. The recording of a non-standard lesson was uploaded on YouTube, where it is gaining views rapidly. As it turns out, modern entertainment can go alongside even serious topics, such as geometry. You can watch the breakthrough game (and refresh your school knowledge at the same time) in the video below.
