Learning Meteorology up in the Air – Designing a CAVE VR Learning Environment

• In Event: D&D - Immersive Learning, and Diversity, Equity & Access 2

Short Description

This proposal reports a CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) VR-based learning system that focuses on providing an immersive, collaborative, and interactive learning experience expected to help students learn abstract topics such as how conveyor belts in the atmosphere are used to explain the transport of air and the formation of different meteorological phenomena. This study contributes empirical evidence and experience in how to design and implement an immersive CAVE VR learning environment for STEM students.
