VIRTUAL REALITY IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION APPLICATION
The term of virtual reality was found by Jaron Lanier a founder of VPL researcher at 1989.He is also known as an American writer, computer scientist and composer of classical music. Virtual reality is computer generated 3D environments which user can enter and interact with virtual environment by using of electronic devices such as keyboard, mouse, wired glasses, shutter glasses its involves real time simulation. “The user able to “immerse” themselves to varying degrees in the computer s artificial world which may either be a simulation reality” ( (Pont, 1995) .Virtual reality is for human to visualize with auditory and touch sensation. There are few types in virtual reality which are immersive virtual reality, argument virtual reality, desktop virtual reality and video mapping reality. Immersive virtual reality system make user feeling involvement in the virtual world and equipped with Head Mounted Display known as HMD. Another type is argument virtual reality .Argument virtual reality is integrate computer generated virtual objects into physical world. Furthermore, desktop virtual reality involves three dimensional (3D) on regular desktop without any tracking equipment like playing games. Lastly, video mapping virtual reality allows user interact with body like jumping, hand move with the virtual world. The often hardware are use in virtual reality which are Head Mounted Displays, glove, stereoscopic displays will make user feel of in virtual world when they use these hardware’s although they in real world. Technological development in virtual reality 3D help many area like education, medical, surgery, manufacture, military, architecture, entertainment, prototype and so on. It...

The term Virtual Reality is a very unique way of bringing life to a world which doesn't even exist. There are many ways by which people have been trying to bring in the consent of the audience and to grab their interest. The history of virtual reality is marvelous in terms of what it was and what it is now. When before 1960s virtual reality existed, it was popular with the term "Pygmalion's Spectacles". Then there was "View-Master" a device in which there was a circular disc having small pictures in it and to view these pictures a person has to use a viewer where he places the disc inside of the designated place and then view in the direction of light. Then from the year 2000 onwards there were many platforms
... simulations, which range from computer run screen simulations to physical simulations, are helping the medical trainees acquire high edge experiences from repetitive exercises of complex medical procedures. The skills and understanding derived from this kind of training is hopefully expected to improve the actual medical service delivery once the students graduate.
There are a number of ways it can be defined, such as augmented Virtuality, psychosomatic Virtuality and virtual reality (gaming), virtual is one of the most contributing factors to 2D and 3D animation which has come to also be known as "modeling through use of computer", with the use of specific modeling software to mold a three-dimensional
The purpose of this paper is to explain how virtual reality is used in everyday life. It is used in many ways in today's society. Several people immediately think of video games or entertainment when they hear virtual reality. Virtual reality is not only used for entertainment purposes but it is also used for medical and educational purposes. It can help people overcome their fears, deal with and treat social anxiety, and it can also be a helpful teaching tool to connect students and teachers in long-distance learning.
But if we are looking for a more modern take on virtual reality we would start in the early 1800’s with a paint style called “Panoramic paintings”. So what are these and how do they relate to virtual reality. Well these paintings were made to fill a person’s field of vision, making them feel like they are at the historical event, scene, or battle they are looking at. (“History Of Virtual Reality”, 2017).
The term Virtual Reality (VR) is used by many different people with many meanings. There are some people to whom VR is a specific collection of technologies, that is a Head Mounted Display, Glove Input Device and Audio. Some other people stretch the term to include conventional books, movies or pure fantasy and imagination. However, for purposes of this research, we restrict VR to computer mediated systems. We would define Virtual Reality as a way for humans to visualize, manipulate and interact with computers and extremely complex data.
Over the years society has changed in many different ways. In particular, technology has been the largest change that has occurred over the year. Only a few years ago the iPhone came out and it has forever changed the way people view their phone. Internet has also become very assessable resource. There are places everywhere to access a computer or free Wi-Fi. These changes have led to the alteration of the accessibility and use of technology in the education setting. The changes made to technology in the education setting have led to many positive outcomes that have allowed many types of people access to education that could not get it prior. There are however, many critics that refute these changes and say that virtual education can be biased and expensive. Although, there are many critics that do not agree with technology in education, have this can give access to many students with disabilities as well as people who have limited time or ability to further an education.
It is in this light that a clear guideline for safety and protection in the chemistry lab has been formulated (Society, 2003). The basic safety rules for chemistry lab are highlighted as personal conduct, personal safety, hygiene practices, chemical handling, equipment handling and emergency response. Jewelry and other accessories are prohibited and should not be worn in the laboratory. Finally, all Lab users require wearing protective gloves that protect the hands and should ensure the correct use.
Virtual reality gives huge benefits in education and helps to improve student engagement. It’s one of the best ways to engage and helps the students to understand the subject through virtual reality system. Especially in the virtual reality game will bring significant impact to teenagers. The major three types of impact are social difficulty (socially impaired), physical and psychological difficulty. Even virtual reality is a great tool to learn, but it is not a universal learning method for all of the educational areas. Too much of virtual reality for students will cause social difficulties because an inescapable aspect of social life is the formation and maintenance of interpersonal relationships (Biocca and Levy 1995). Constantly using virtual reality will cause isolation from the societies because the person already made his or her own social area which only exists in the virtual world. VR will provide a communication environment in which the dangers of deception and the benefits of creativity are amplified beyond the levels that humans currently experience in their interpersonal interactions (Biocca and Levy 1995). It could lead to low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness and insignificance, even self-destructive acts (Cartwright, 1994). VR games could mindlessly, energy sapping diversion, bring electronic isolation, a playground for immortality (Kershner 1995). Virtual Reality game brings physical and psychological difficulties when they over run and it could be called as cyber sickness. VR interventions were able to increase physical activity capacity and performance in children with CP (Cerebral palsy) or early brain injury. Cyber sickness is one of the physiological impacts durin...
Virtual reality can be defined as a, "technology that enables users to enter computer generated worlds and interface with them three dimensionally through sight, sound, and touch" (Newquist 93). Virtual reality combines computer simulation and visualization into a single, coherent whole (Peterson 8). Researchers say it embodies an attempt to eliminate the traditional distinction between the user and the machine. Virtual reality is intended to provide a means of naturally and intelligently interacting with information (8). Virtual reality is contending to be the interface of the future, allowing ordinary users to use their senses to interact with complex data.
All of our lives, we have gone through school learning with many other students in a classroom, and using books. But what if things were to change? What if instead of getting up to go to school, we simply had to just turn our computers on. Virtual Education is becoming a new way to teach and learn. Using computers, students can interact with other students and instructors, go to a history lecture with people all across the world, and even dissect frogs.
Many studies have been conducted on the use of virtual reality in education and training. In education, new technology is used to enhance the learning process. Mobile has become one of the technology offers educators a way to communicate with students using the appropriate application for learning. Virtual reality has reached a sufficient level of development for it to be considered in innovative applications such as education, training and research in higher education. With the creation of virtual reality has been used in education, it allows students to learn, to explore and develop
In contrast, in virtual learning environment, there would be a danger of procrastination among students. Moreover, students will not collaborate with each other because all learning is online, so they will feel isolation.
Virtual Reality is a new form of interactive media that is here to stay. A time may come when people might get tired of it but the chances of that happening are really low as the content that can be offered in VR systems is almost limitless.
Augmented reality (AR) is the virtual object which is combination of 3D real environment in the real time. It is more interactive either with graphics or audio enhancing from what we can sense such smell, hear, see or feel it. In other words, it is duplicate the environment around the world in computer. There are applications in various areas in augmented reality and one of them is medical visualization more domain for augmented reality. The topic that discussed is augmented reality application in computer aided surgery and medicine. In research article (Tobias Sielhorst, Marco Feuerstein & Nassir Navab, 2008) medical augmented reality takes it motivation from the need of visualizing medical data and the patient within the same physical space. The reason for chose this topic because it is because this application more advance and the technologies always bring new visualization and interaction using augmented reality in 3D in surgery performing requirements. So, discussing these topics actually need many evaluations to perceive the result to the area of surgery and medicine in medical performance.
