CyberMath: A System for Exploring Open Issues in VR-based Education

Virtual Reality (VR) has been shown to be an effective way of teaching difficult concepts to students. However, a number of important questions related to immersion, collaboration and realism remain to be answered before truly efficient virtual learning environments can be designed. We present CyberMath, an avatar-based shared virtual environment for mathematics education that allows further study of these issues. In addition, CyberMath is easily integrated into school environments and can be used to teach a wide range of mathematical subjects.
