Virtual Reality Experience Promoting Accident-Free Educational Tour for Primary Level Students via WLAN Unity-Arduino Application

Abstract

This paper aims to develop a virtual reality program as an alternative to field trips which promotes accident-free education tours to primary level students. The team used Unity software as a platform for stitching 360 pictures and videos and built for Android OS specifically for Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus. Arduino is used to serve as restriction of the instructor to the students using a fingerprint scanner to observe synchronized group of scenes. The devices for each student are connected to the instructor via Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Effectiveness and efficiency of the system will be determined based on the result observed through the student's experience.
