Virtual teaching/learning space

The VR environment of the virtual classroom offers the user a wide range of differentiated teaching, learning and design tools. Analogue teaching media such as a whiteboard are metaphorically implemented and functionally expanded.

The virtual classroom enables lecturers to provide immersive teaching content regardless of the location, creating a missing link between traditional classroom teaching and screen-based online teaching.

The context and function of the room can be adapted in many ways to teaching content or the target group. Multi-proportional events are possible, e.g. architectural designs can be displayed, discussed and manipulated in virtual space regardless of the scale.

Interactions in the digital environment of the virtual classroom take place directly in VR with the help of a virtual reality headset and the corresponding controllers, but can also be carried out without a VR device on the screen with a mouse and keyboard, or on a mobile end device such as a smartphone or tablet.
