TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Kohen-Vacs, Dan A1 - Jansen, Marc A1 - Milrad, Marcelo T1 - Towards an Architecture for Supporting Educational Virtual Reality Applications (ICCE’16) T2 - Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Computers in Education N2 - In recent years, hardware for the production and consumption of virtual reality content has reached level of prices that make it affordable to everyone. Accordingly schools and universities are showing increased interest in implementations of virtual reality technologies for supporting their innovative educational activities. Hence, this paper presents a flexible architecture for supporting the development of virtual reality learning scenarios conveniently deployed for educational purposes. We also suggest an example of such educational scenario for medical purposes deployable with the suggested architecture. In addition, we developed and used a questionnaire answered by 17 medical students in order to derive additional requirements for refining such scenarios. Then, we present these efforts while aiming at deployments usable also for additional domains. Finally, we summarize and mention aspects we will address in our coming efforts while deploying such activities.
