On the forefront of interactive games hardware are virtual reality headsets and their controllers. Products such as HTC's Vive, Oculus Rift, and Playstation VR provide immersive experiences that outperform what computer monitors can provide. It is with these virtual experiences that Team 10 will build an educational environment that can effectively use all forms of learning. The commonly used forms of learning are shortened into the acronym 'VARK' which stands for 'Visual, Auditory, Read/write, Kinesthetic.' The typical classroom environment can at best address two of the four forms of learning. Classroom lectures are spoken to students who listen for important details while reading what a teacher has written on the subject and recording the details in notes for later use. Labs that are associated with classroom lectures address the remaining two forms of VARK learning. Students are given the opportunity to see what was being described in their lecture while interacting with the lecture material. Team 10's Virtual Reality Physics Lab will address all four forms of learning using a personalized experience in HTC Vive. As mentioned, Team 10's Virtual Reality Physics Lab will incorporate all of the forms of learning usually restricted to two environments into one environment. This environment will be in the form of a 'sandbox' environment. 'Sandbox' environments encourage freedom of movement, where a user is left to their own devices to interact with various objects in the environment. Each object in the Virtual Reality Physics Lab will have information associated with the object that relays physics data relevant to the student's education. With the combination of an immersive 'sandbox' experience and the information necessary to learning physics, students will leave the simulation having enjoyed learning about physics.
