Abstract: |
In recent
years, virtual environments have played a key role in engineering education.
The use of virtual environments as learning tools continues to grow on account
of the capabilities of providing learners with more interactive and immersive
learning experiences than most of the conventional learning methods. This paper
aims to introduce the related background and recent research work on the
topic of the collaborative virtual environment (CVE) and then presents a
solution of implementing a web-based 3D virtual engineering laboratory in a
collaborative setting. This will allow users to create their own avatars in
the virtual world and work collaboratively over the network. Such a method may
also be beneficial for distance learning. |
