An educational virtual environment for studying physics concept in high schools

Abstract

Virtual Reality has been applied in many fields such as scientific visualization, manufacturing, architecture, entertainment, education and training. In this paper, we present a virtual educational environment for studying some abstract concept in physics. With this environment, middle school students are able to study the abstract concept such as relative motion, and to make themselves construct their knowledge of the field. Experimental results show the efficiency of our method. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
