Designing a Web-Based VR Machine for Learning of Packaging and Testing Skills

This research designed and implemented an interactive learning system to support self-directed learning of microfabrication technology from both technical and functional viewpoints, along with end-user evaluation results. The current study applied virtual technology to design virtual machines with online interaction, to acquaint students with microfabrication facilities, learn how to operate machines, and practice the microfabrication process through the internet. This study incorporated the microfabrication technology courses with the developed web-based learning system.
