Enhancing the Collaborative Learning by using Immersive Virtual Reality.

High performance Virtual Reality (VR) technology such as immersive projection technology (IPT) systems can provide an ideal platform that immerses students within the virtual world. Using such a system with educational applications that have been developed to contain an element of fun, would result in a powerful learning tool that students would enjoy using. Through the interconnection of multiple VR system s the learning environment can be distributed amongst multiple users at different locations. This work builds upon the use of VR as an educational tool and investigates how collaborative interaction between multiple parties can improve learning whi le also encouraging the formation of working relationships within the Virtual Environment (VE).
