Schell Games’ HistoryMaker VR is coming just in time for pandemic distance learning

Schell Games is releasing HistoryMaker VR on Steam just in time for the new school year that will let players embody a range of historical figures. With HistoryMaker VR, students can import scripts and record videos as historical figures such as Benjamin Franklin, Harriet Tubman, Tecumseh, George Washington Carver, and Abigail Adams.

HistoryMaker VR should debut on Steam on August 13 for $10, with compatibility mentioned for the Oculus Rift and Rift S. But Schell is also pitching it as being free for educators, with complementary desktop software for managing a classroom and helping students.
