Development of Virtual Robot Assisted Learning (VRAL) in Robotic Course Using Virtual Environment Technique

Virtual Reality (VR), the recent development in the fields of user interface design and interactive computer graphics, offers significant advantages to classical methods of teaching and learning. A series of VR based educational modules are being developed to explore the capabilities. This research...
