ABSTRACT
VR content creation is a comprehensive development, and it requires a variety of skills, not only sensing technology and computer graphics techniques, but also aesthetic design and storytelling, for completing the project. A groupwork-based project is a suitable approach for creating a VR application, because the group members can exert their full powers in their special fields by collaborating with each other.
Students learn best when they are actively involved in the process, such as in group discussion and field work. These groupwork projects are also effective in improving their collaboration skills.
This paper introduces an education method for creating virtual reality content by means of groupwork, and shows the advantages of this method.
