CNN VR: This is a link to the CNN website. They have a nice feature where they show a segment (i.e. Hot Air Balloon over the U.K., feeding lions and bears, etc.) and the viewers are able to move the camera around with their mouse. The feature is enhanced if you own a pair of the virtual headsets. CNN VR would help bring history classes to life. Hopefully they make VR programs that relate to famous battles or civilizations.
