VRclassroom for chemistry

Abstract

Classroom learning has been increasingly digitalized especially with the advancements in technology. With the increase in research in the virtual reality field, more questions have been arising relating to whether virtual reality should be used in classroom teaching and learning due to its benefits of enhancing students’ learning experience. The goal of this project is to allow users to make use of virtual reality to improve the teaching of chemistry in class, mainly targeted at secondary school students. More specifically, this project is to design a software that allows teachers to share 3-dimensional molecules for students to visualize in class using a virtual reality headset.
