Project description

Since the pandemic, distance learning, teaching and training services have thrived. Last semester, we took our first steps towards exploring techniques for immersive teaching and learning of virtual reality concepts in virtual reality. Our vrEDUsys Unity teaching framework supports live teaching in VR as well as recording and playback of lectures in VR. Compared to regular teaching methods, this gives students first-hand exposure to virtual reality concepts. As a result, students have a greater awareness of usability issues and possible usage scenarios of virtual reality technology and 3D interaction concepts. In this student project we explore and develop tailored tools to support students and teachers in learning and teaching in virtual reality. We will present different approaches we are investigating and offer the opportunity for visitors to try out our approaches in virtual reality.
