In an ever changing world that’s constantly in competition with itself, one of things that’s strangely stayed the same is the education system. Now that everybody’s transitioning into, what feels like, a semi online life, it’s only fitting that we refine our ways of tutoring. This is where VR for education comes in.
VR creates an immersive environment that allows individuals to fully indulge themselves into their field of interest. No more protests from students complaining about how textbooks with endless words tire them out, or how they can't visualize the study material. With VR, words on the page come to life. Be it learning a new language, about the vast endlessness of the universe or looking into the mysteries of your own body, VR learning makes everything simpler.
Studies confirm visual learning improves retention of information, the additive pleasure of being in an immersive online environment is the icing on the cake.
Making use of programming language C#, we allow the user to interact with the virtual environment and take in all the information at their own pace. No more pacing back and forth trying to memorize words in a book, the words take shape around you instead. And in this case, the WORLD takes shape around you, as this project allows you to conquer space from the confines of where you decide to sit.
Making use of the software 'Unity' and the programming language C#, we've created a 3d model of the solar system and select constellations. The user interface allows the individual to surf through the different planets by clicking through the command keys F1 - F8. Based on the key you press, the respective planet shows up displaying along with it, its name and some important information related to it. F10 command lets the user watch the movement of planets devoid of information texts.
The 'Change Scene' button at the bottom right corner of the screen allows the user to shift from viewing the solar system to a display of three constellations — Orion, Aries and Leo.
KEYS:
F1 - Mercury F2 - Venus F3 - Earth F4 - Mars F5 - Jupiter F6 - Saturn F7 - Uranus F8 - Neptune F9 - Solar System (TOP VIEW) F10 - Clear Info Change Scene - Shift from Solar System to Constellations
