The Short Handbook about Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Technologies in the Field of Education (PR1)

Table of contents

Our scientific studies focusing on the use of virtual reality are currently under peer review. As soon as the peer review process is complete with a positive outcome, we will share our findings on this website as well.

 

User manual for VR platforms (PR2)

Books and scientific articles (in preparation)

We have been working on a handbook that will help potential users of virtual reality and augmented reality to better understand the technologies and to enhance their use in education. The handbook titled “The Short Handbook about Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Technologies in the Field of Education” is yet to be published but we made the table of contents available for everyone.

Part- time education material on VR platform (PR5)

Laparoscopy VR trainer (PR5)

Laparoscopy VR is a low-budget Laparoscopy training kit developed by the University of Pécs that runs on Meta Quest 2 with developer mode enabled. The app is primarily aimed at introductory level training to increase the quality of the time students spend on more expensive simulators. Controller adapters can be 3D printed and a cardboard box can be used to provide rudimentary force-feedback. All can be prepared by the students themselves using the files provided. Tutorial video is provided to explain the process.
