This project aims to provide students with disabilities the same in class learning experience through virtual reality technology, 360-degree video capture, and the use of Arduino units. These technologies will be combined to facilitate communication between teachers in physical classrooms with students in virtual classrooms. The goal is to provide a person who is affected by a disability (which makes it hard to be in a traditional classroom) the same benefits of a safe and interactive learning environment.

Today, it is possible to construct English learning environment through computer technology with the integration between information technology and all kinds of educational resources, so as to change the efficiency of teaching oral English. This thesis takes the explanation of virtual reality technology as the cutting point, analyzing the present situation of oral English Teaching in college , putting forward the idea of teaching oral English by virtual reality technology in the classroom.

Oral English teaching has been in an embarrassing situation because of lacking necessary language environment. With the development of virtual reality technology, using computer technology to build an English learning environment becomes possible, and thus to change the difficult situation of oral English teaching. This paper first introduces the main contents of the oral English teaching and existing problems, then analyzes the theoretical basis and advantages of college oral English teaching basing on virtual reality technology, and finally puts forward some effective ways that the virtual reality technology applies to oral English teaching.

Advanced 3D virtual environment technology, similar to that used by the film and computer games industry can allow educational developers to rapidly create realistic 3D, virtual environments. This technology has been used to generate a range of interactive learning environments across a broad spectrum of industries and educational application areas. Virtual Reality (VR) simulators represent a powerful tool for learning and teaching. The idea is not new. Flight simulators have been used for decades to train pilots for both commercial and military aviation. These systems have advanced to a point that they are integral to both the design and the operation of modern aircraft [1, 2]. There are a number of lessons that can be learned from other industries that have successfully utilised virtual training and learning systems for a number of years. Generic rules of thumb regarding the specification, development, application and operation of these learning environments can be garnered from other industrial training systems and examined in an educational context [3, 4, 5]. This paper will introduce a virtual learning environment which has been developed by the authors. During the implementation of this, and other, visual learning environments a number of complex operational problems have been encountered, these have required a number of innovative solutions and management procedures to be developed. The paper will also discuss the implementation of these systems and extrapolate the lessons learnt into general guidelines to be considered for the development of VR based educational learning resources. These guidelines will then be discussed in the context of the development of ViRILE (Virtual Reality Interactive Learning Environment). This software is designed for use by undergraduate chemical engineers and simulates the configuration and operation of a polymerisation plant.
