Work-in-Progress—Converging Virtual Reality, Robots, and Social Networks to Support Immersive Learning

This work-in-progress paper describes the development of a conceptually led Cyber-Physical-Social EcoSystem (CPSeS) that seamlessly blends the real with the digital worlds using VR, Robots and Social Networking technologies to support immersive learning. The proposed CPSeS can bring students together by merging the real with virtual social spaces, enabling them to interact with each other, and with real and digital environments through physical and virtual robots. The framework used to design this system provides opportunities for developing innovative interactive systems and educational approaches to support and enhance immersive learning.
