Taking to Instagram, the student, identified as Anushk Sharma, posted a clip in which he claimed that his college professor had bought Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headsets for every student in the class.
‘Today we will study with this’
In the video, Sharma is seen explaining what happened during his class. He says that his professor walked in and announced, “Today we will study with this,” before distributing Meta Quest 3 devices to each student.
Sharma then draws a comparison with colleges in India, stating that in many institutions there is often just a single piece of equipment shared among several students. He also remarks that in some cases, students studying software engineering work on computer systems running pirated or fake versions of Windows.
Borrowing the headset
The student further adds that he even asked his professor if he could borrow the Meta Quest 3. According to Sharma, the professor agreed without hesitation, which left him pleasantly surprised.
