Abstract

The Rhode Island IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence Molecular Informatics Core at the University of Rhode Island Information Technology Services Innovative Learning Technologies developed virtual and augmented reality applications to teach concepts in biomedical science, including pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, cell culture and nanotechnology. The apps were developed as full virtual reality/augmented reality and 3D gaming versions, which do not require virtual reality headsets. Development challenges included creating intuitive user interfaces, text-to-voice functionality, visualization of molecules and implementing complex science concepts. In-app quizzes are used to assess the user's understanding of topics, and user feedback was collected for several apps to improve the experience. The apps were positively reviewed by users and are being implemented into the curriculum at the University of Rhode Island.

开发用于科学、技术、工程和数学教育的虚拟和增强现实应用程序。

罗德岛大学信息技术服务创新学习技术的罗德岛IDeA生物医学研究卓越网络分子信息学核心开发了虚拟和增强现实应用程序，教授生物医学概念，包括药理学、药物化学、细胞培养和纳米技术。这些应用程序是作为全虚拟现实/增强现实和3D游戏版本开发的，不需要虚拟现实耳机。开发挑战包括创建直观的用户界面、文本到语音功能、分子可视化和实现复杂的科学概念。应用内测验用于评估用户对主题的理解，并收集了几个应用程序的用户反馈，以改善体验。这些应用程序得到了用户的积极评价，并正在罗德岛大学的课程中实施。

期刊介绍： BioTechniques is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original laboratory methods, related technical and software tools, and methods-oriented review articles that are of broad interest to professional life scientists, as well as to scientists from other disciplines (e.g., chemistry, physics, computer science, plant and agricultural science and climate science) interested in life science applications for their technologies. Since 1983, BioTechniques has been a leading peer-reviewed journal for methods-related research. The journal considers: Reports describing innovative new methods, platforms and software, substantive modifications to existing methods, or innovative applications of existing methods, techniques & tools to new models or scientific questions Descriptions of technical tools that facilitate the design or performance of experiments or data analysis, such as software and simple laboratory devices Surveys of technical approaches related to broad fields of research Reviews discussing advancements in techniques and methods related to broad fields of research Letters to the Editor and Expert Opinions highlighting interesting observations or cautionary tales concerning experimental design, methodology or analysis.
