The goal of this project is to develop and use virtual reality (VR) laboratories to emulate the learning environment of physical laboratories, while preserving the three dimensionality, immersion, interactivity and hands-on data acquisition features of physical experiments. The project team is developing the physical-to-virtual transformation methodology, integrating VR experiments in the supplementation and stand-alone modes for laboratory instruction and the embedded mode in lecture courses, and incorporating devices (such as 3-D mice, data gloves) for human-computer interfaces. The combination of VR based practice sessions and physical experiment sessions provides students hands-on experience in both physical and virtual domains. The pedagogical results and lessons learned from this project are disseminated through a workshop to community colleges in Virginia and a website hosting the teaching modules and project results for distribution to 4-year and 2-year colleges.

该项目的目标是开发和使用虚拟现实（VR）实验室来模拟物理实验室的学习环境，同时保留物理实验的三维性、沉浸性、交互性和动手数据采集的特点。项目团队正在开发物理到虚拟的转换方法，将VR实验整合到实验室教学的补充和单机模式以及讲座课程的嵌入式模式中，并结合设备（如3d鼠标，数据手套）进行人机界面。基于VR的实践课程和物理实验课程的结合为学生提供了物理和虚拟领域的实践经验。从这个项目中获得的教学成果和经验教训通过一个讲习班向弗吉尼亚州的社区学院传播，并通过一个网站将教学模块和项目成果分发给四年制和两年制大学。
