Abstract
The paper describes the project on physics learning. It was implemented using the Unity game engine, Leap Motion package to provide controlling within the laboratory works, and C# programming language in order to define logic between objects of the app. Also, the survey on the efficiency of similar projects and applications is presented. It was conducted among students of the high school. The observations on using of virtual reality technology are also given. The main purpose of the article is to demonstrate and evaluate use of the application in subject’s learning and its efficiency. The paper also raises question on educational tools relevance and modernity.
