元器件交易网讯 4月21日消息,据外媒报道,爱尔兰的学生正在使用Second Life(第二人生)开源版本学习编程、3D建模以及创造可供实地考察的虚拟空间。他们的最新项目是重建并用Oculus Rift探索克隆马诺伊修道院。
这些项目主要基于MissionV虚拟显示平台,提供给学生观察现实世界的新视角。MissionV创始人兼CEO称“孩子们花费两周时间构建非常熟悉的建筑,直到它们出现在显示器上。只有当他们沉浸在显示之中才能完整的还原场景。”这将改变学生认知现实的方式。(元器件交易网毛毛 译)

If games, wildlife documentaries andvirtual strolls in the park aren't enough to validate virtual reality for you,try this one: educational motivation. School children in Ireland have beenusing a open source version of Second Life to learn coding, 3D modeling and tocreate virtual spaces of recent field trips. Their most recent project:recreating the monastery of Clonmacnoise and exploring it with an Oculus Rift.Technically the Rift isn't part of the classroom's normal operations -- thefounder of the MissionV virtual reality platform the school is visiting broughtit with him on a recent visit -- but it did give the students a new perspectiveon the world they had built. "Whoa," one student exclaimed, lookingat the classroom's recreation of Clonmacnoise's McCarthy Tower. "That ishumongous."
"The children spent two weeks buildingthe model and were intimately familiar with the layout of the site andbuildings as the appeared on the PC monitor," MissionV founder and CEOJames Corbett explained. "But the full realization of the scale andperspective of what they built only dawned on them when they were immersed inthis reality." Having a virtual presence in the model actually changed howthe children learned about it -- and the promise of being able to play in theworld they built was bound to be a heck of a motivator, too. It's still tooearly to say if VR will become a common tool in education, but it's still ablast to watch these kids romp around in a world of their own making. Check itout in the video below.
