Virtual reality classroom applied to science education

The goal of the present study was to develop a virtual reality classroom, to improve student's Learning performance and outcomes. A serious virtual reality learning environment was developed, integrating virtual reality technology, virtual reality device, as well as 3D interactive virtual reality digital information content.
