An application of Virtual Reality technology in Education

The use of digital technologies influences practically almost all aspects of our daily life. Computer technologies have seen dramatic improvements, and laid the foundation for worldwide virtual reality (VR) development. The main goal of virtual reality is simulation of realistic human world. One of the key features of virtual reality is real-time interactivity, which means that the computer or the system has to be able to detect a user's input and modify the virtual world instantaneously. There are lots of educational difficulties related to understanding of complex objects like chemical compounds or parts of human body. A way to overcome them is the use of VR as appropriate technique which can improve the learning process to became more efficient. The aim of the paper is to present an approach for constructing molecules with different structural complexity. In addition, the development of VR models for human anatomy parts is also considered.
