Development of virtual reality (VR) as an affordable learning method with species of nature

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) has been implemented in developed countries to facilitate visual, experimental, and sensory communication; in this project a test was performed to evaluate the interaction, acceptance and experience of users with the VR as a tool for learning in Colombia by building a lower cost simulator VR affordable to the community which enables teachers, students or any user interested in environmental issues to interact with 4D models and experience physical and psychological immersion in natural environments. The methods used for data collection were the survey and the panel of users, yielding data supportive to the conclusion that this technology can be replicated in the region to improve the quality of learning adapted to local conditions, which strengthens the knowledge of fauna and flora of Colombia.
