Applying Virtual Reality panorama simulation environment in technical communication

Abstract

This paper discusses the development of the courseware to complete high demand in improving the quality of the presentation of knowledge sharing activities with the use of technology. The needs for development of technology-based learning and training lead to an idea to develop an Oil and Gas Plant Virtual Environment (OGPVE) for the benefit of our future. The technology which is adopted in Panoramic Virtual Reality learning-based environment is essential in order to help educators overcome the limitations in traditional technical writing lesson. In order to create an encouraging courseware which precisely meets user's need, few steps are taken starting with studying the suitable theory to help presenting the education, collecting pictures and data of proposed location, developing the courseware and finally testing the courseware. This paper discusses the steps of the virtual environment learning courseware in terms of the development of the courseware for the technology of virtual reality to be tailored together to help learn technical communication. © 2010 IEEE.
