Discussion of the Parameters of the Distance Learning System in Virtual Reality

Abstract

The widespread use of virtual reality in recent years has offered researchers many new directions for research and development. One of the most important and obvious industries for the application of VR from the very beginning was education. Educational applications for VR are quite common today. The degree of immersion in the environment offered by VR, according to many authors, has a positive effect on the perception of information provided in applications. Another current trend in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic is the active transition of many institutions to distance or mixed learning. However, there are currently very few VR applications for distance learning. This article describes the possible format of such a system, as well as the requirements for it. Various aspects of the proposed system, such as financial, network, and technical, are considered. In particular, the necessary computer configuration and network parameters are described. The issues of the user interface and user security are touched upon. Possible approaches to solving these problems are proposed.
