Virtual Reality and its use in education
VWBPE 2022 Presentation
Presented: April 2, 2022
Speaker: Andrew Bell / ivytechengineer, Ivy Tech Community College
Second Life can provide educators with opportunities to create new learning environments for classes which should enrich learning. In the spring of 2020, Ivy Tech introduced the use of Second Life in many mechanical and electrical engineering classes. Techniques have been developed for translating CAD files from Solidworks to Second Life, presentation of student work (posters) and development of games using Blender and Second Life scripts. This presentation will discuss what we have learned.
- A technique has been developed to capture student posters which is inexpensive and easy to manage.
- A work flow has been developed to translate CAD files into Second Life up-loadable models.
