ChemistryVR
Explore chemistry through virtual experiments.
The research question
How can virtual laboratories support hands-on chemistry learning where equipment, space and safety constrain practice?
What we explored
ChemistryVR combines laboratory safety training, direct manipulation of virtual apparatus, step-by-step manuals and simulated chemical reactions. The ICVRV 2022 prototype was developed further in a SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 Educator’s Forum paper.
Why this work matters
The project provides a curriculum-aligned environment for rehearsing experimental procedures without handling real chemicals. Its design connects safety preparation, guided practice and visible chemical reactions in one learning environment.
