Learning Physics And Biology In Virtual Laboratory

Abstract

It is very common to find educational institutions in rural India where there are no equipments available for performing academic experiments. This problem can be mitigated with the help of Virtual Reality. We have used Google Cardboard as the Head Mounted Display and Leap Motion for interacting with the application. The cost of these devices is low so, we have succeeded in creating a virtual laboratory at a cost which is less than the cost of setting up and maintaining a real laboratory. Although it has been developed at low cost, it has a few drawbacks. Using the application requires large amount of practice and prolonged usage can lead to nausea and disorientation. VR is still in the early stages, but it has huge potential. This application can be further expanded to include a wide range of laboratories like Chemistry and Mechanics. If this low cost solution can be implemented in schools and colleges, it will provide facilities to students and save a huge amount of money for institutions. Effective implementation of such a solution will improve the quality of practical education to a great extent. With further improvements in VR hardware, the problems of accuracy, portability and VR sickness can be solved.
