Uh... every laser tag I've ever been to (even the cheap ones) had a visible beam as you shot.

Just tried, and their Google accounts do not have access to Chrome Remote Desktop unfortunately

I thought so too, but the students are locked out altering any software on their Chromebooks

This might be the solution I was looking for! Thanks!

The only reason I would virtualize would be to allow multiple users to have access to their own workspaces.

It would seem safer to have them sandboxed within a virtual workspace than to give them all user accounts synchronously on a desktop, if that's even possible.

This looks great! It's far outside of my price range though.

They are bios locked (or whatever the Chromebook equivalent of that is).

I'm in a rural area without much funding. They would likely take issue with me adding complexity to their already overworked schedule.

Anyway, I'd rather ask forgiveness than for permission in most instances like these.

I'm vegan, so I've had it before...Oh, the software! Looks exactly like what I need (even though it might be out of my league to set up)

Just checked it out, and this might be exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks!

If only! They cannot be reimaged at all. They cannot even add extensions to Chrome. They are LOCKED down.

 

I am looking for a solution for my students who all have Chromebooks (which are locked down).

Their opportunities will be greatly expanded if they had access to Windows-based software (Blender, Unreal Engine, 3D slicing software, etc.,).

I have access to a couple desktop machines that I could host virtual boxes on if there was some way for them to remote into them through a web browser.

Is that something that is possible, and where would I get the information to get started hosting something like that?

If not, are there any alternative solutions that do not require a paid subscription?
