| Summary: | Virtual reality (VR) technology is the perfect communication tools, which is on
the cutting edge of the general evolution of the current communication interface. VR
offers user a fully immersive environment and can simulate vivid communication and a
social experience that is almost exactly like the real thing. In recent years, VR
technologies have mainly been used for leisure activities like gaming and watching
videos, or for more traditional uses like meetings or in some professional fields, like
medicine, engineering. There are only a small number of VR environments or systems
specifically designed for students that allow them to interact socially with others in the
virtual environment.
Social distance has been established in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic,
which forbids any face-to-face social interactions between people. The shift to a virtual
mode of study limited social contact, and students can only use social media platform to
interact with each other, which is a poor substitute for more traditional forms of
communication.
This project aims to create a VR environment where students can be socially
active among peers and eliminates the condition of going outdoor to perform face to
face interaction. |
