Groups and Locations

The Oxford VR Group is developing a three-dimensional simulated laboratory for the teaching of chemistry. This laboratory will be modeled using virtual reality techniques and it will contain interactive multimedia experiments. Essentially, the student will be able to move around the lab in a web browser window and choose to take part in experiments that are distributed around this virtual lab.Each experiment will make use of the latest multimedia technology.

This will include:

Digitised video and animations of the experiment being carried out;

Animated three-dimensional simulations of chemical objects (including molecules);

Interactive sections where the student will be required to work out what is going on and answer questions;

and links to other useful internet sites relating to that topic.
