Abstract

The virtual reality technology is getting enhanced day by day as simulation and haptic together opened a new dimension to education system. It is a positive movement which has the potential to change the way of teaching from traditional style to computer and simulation enhanced teaching methods. This work discusses the achievement and testing of an educational system based on interaction and 3D visualization. This educational system is a prototype of a haptic system for chemistry experiment simulations and molecular visualization that exploits the functionalities of a gesture-based device that could be applied both in research and e-learning. The qualitative analysis of the obtained results is presented in this paper.
