This document outlines the details of a virtual reality project for a class. Students will work in groups of 1-4 to develop a VR concept for science, education, or science communication. They will create a prototype and present their project in December. Students are encouraged to collaborate with teachers or researchers. The document provides information on content creation tools like Unity3D and photo/video and compares their capabilities. It describes an in-class group assignment to generate VR use case ideas and find project groups. Students are given a homework assignment to form project groups based on shared interests.

- 1. VIRTUAL REALITY FOR SCIENCE & EDUCATION LECTURE 5: 9 OCT 2015 Project kick-off
- 2. REVIEW
- 3. Final project • Groups of 1 - 4 people • Developing aVirtual Reality concept for science / education / science communication. • Realizing a prototype of your concept. • Project presentations: Friday 4 Dec or 8 Jan 11:00? • Possibility to present on symposium on 22 January • Collaboration with teacher or researcher is encouraged
- 4. Project planning • Brainstorming today • Defining an area of interest and forming a group before class 6 • Shaping an idea for your project and developing a concept class 6 and onwards • Realizing a prototype of your concept class 7 and onwards

- 11. VR content creation: learning • Students have different backgrounds • Different projects require different technical solutions • Lots of learning material available online
- 12. Group assignment I Generating ideas (40 minutes) – groups of 4-5 people • Write down 5 - 10 specific and potentially valuable use cases forVR in science / education / science communication in the Google Sheet • Ideas should be feasible with currently available hardware Selection (10 minutes) • Select 5 interesting ideas from all groups and write down your name in the Google Sheet In-depth discussion – groups of 2-5 people (30 minutes) • Group formation around selected ideas • Further discuss idea, how it usesVR, the feasibility, possible embedding in education or research, possibilities for collaboration, creation of content, etc.
- 13. Homework assignment • Form a project group of 1- 4 people. • A common area of interest should be the most important bond of a group. • You can use the #projectideas channel to describe your interests and help you in finding a group. • Take into consideration the technical aspirations of your group and the abilities of your group members. • Create a private Slack channel with your group members and me in which you briefly explain your interests.
