Education of students using virtual reality

Abstract

This paper describes the development of an Educational Virtual Reality application that could be used in technically-oriented subjects - in this instance, Micro-computer Programming This is taught at FAI, TBU in Zlin, and its practical part takes place in a specialised laboratory that contains some controllable real models. The article describes the design and realisation of the multi-platform Virtual Reality application in a selected real model's environment. By using Virtual Reality hardware and this application, students can then experience the virtual world that they have created as if was the real world - thus allowing them to gain a better understanding of these subjects.
