The Application of Virtual Reality in Engineering Education: A Case Study of the Virtual Storage Cavern System

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the development in virtual reality technology, it has been applied in kinds of fields, e.g. education and engineering. This article introduces the concept and basic features of virtual reality, the application of VR in education and engineering, the building procedures and the functions of the virtual system with the case of the virtual Storage Cavern system. The system is consisted of four parts which enables students to understand and grasp the basic operation, maintenance, and standard accident responses more effectively than other teaching methods.
