PROJECT GOAL
| In collaboration with the Korea Maritime and Ocean University Remote Education Support Center, we are establishing a digital practical education infrastructure to create an educational environment. This project develops key experiments from general chemistry and physics courses as VR content, integrating them into the curriculum. By supporting immersive education that meets future industry demands, it provides students with the benefits of embodied cognition and immersive learning. With the ability to conduct repetitive and safe practice in a VR environment, students can deeply understand experimental content and transfer it to long-term memory. This contributes to enhancing practical problem-solving skills and field adaptability.

“ The chemistry lab tools are identical to the real ones, and the experimental procedures are implemented so accurately that it feels like conducting actual experiments. Eliminating the constraints of lab equipment and preparation time, incorporating VR experiments into the curriculum is beneficial for pre-learning and preventing safety accidents, creating a rich educational process. ”
" It feels like being in a real laboratory! "
| Interview with Korea Maritime and Ocean University Instructor |
Thanks to the realistic experimental tools and precisely implemented procedures, students could experience an immersive feeling as if they were conducting experiments in a virtual space. The ability to safely repeat experiments without hazardous elements was a significant advantage. Moreover, without the need for complex equipment preparation, experiments could be conducted immediately during class, showing excellent results in pre-learning and accident prevention. VR content, structured identically to real experiments, enables a rich curriculum, providing students with active and engaging learning experiences, resulting in a more enriched educational process.
Overview
Korea Maritime and Ocean University Remote Education Support Center General Chemistry and Physics VR Content
To enhance students' learning capabilities, key experiments in general chemistry and physics have been implemented as VR content, enabling the education center to operate diverse learning programs and allowing participants to grow as active learners. By precisely modeling experimental environments and tools, the gap between reality and virtual reality was minimized, reducing the sense of unfamiliarity. This project is integrated into the university's curriculum as core content and serves as an example of encompassing digital practical training alongside digital textbooks like CBT.
Establishing a VR Practical Education System
Innovative 3D Education through Various Chemistry and Physics Experiments
The Remote Education Support Center at Korea Maritime and Ocean University, part of the Institute for Teaching and Learning Development, was established to effectively respond to changing educational environments and strengthen learner-centered teaching support based on the university's vision and educational goals. Moving away from traditional theory-centered, instructor-focused education, the goal is to transition to learner-participatory education, developing and operating innovative teaching methods, providing various programs to enhance teaching capabilities, and supporting more effective classes.

To enable students to effectively acquire professional knowledge through various practical exercises, a new educational system was established to improve educational quality by introducing VR practice to overcome the limitations of experimental environments. VR experimental content goes beyond simple video viewing, allowing learners to actively participate in and experience the experimental process, enabling repetitive learning, which distinctly differentiates it from traditional education methods. There is no longer a need to waste class time preparing complex equipment, and safe and effective class management is possible without concerns about using hazardous chemicals.

Various scientific experiments carry risks such as chemical burns, injuries from broken glassware, and unexpected reactions during the process. Through VR experiments before actual practice, students can learn procedures and precautions without handling real substances or components, preventing safety accidents. Additionally, repetitive learning enables a deeper understanding of the experimental process, and the ability to learn autonomously without time or location constraints significantly enhances learning efficiency. It is also effective in building confidence in experiments and reducing mistakes during actual practice.

To enhance immersion, the content is designed to naturally guide learning by allowing users to experience trigger-based interactions at the start. Users check materials one by one to learn their names, understand experiment precautions through the user interface (UI), and wear safety equipment. Quizzes are inserted midway to combine theory and practice, enhancing learning outcomes, while mini-experiments covering core content are integrated to allow participants to directly check and complete results.
