, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for virtual field trips for students by using virtual reality technology. In particular, it is related to educational field for virtual field trips.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Today's students are visual learners and a field trip lets them touch, feel, and listen to what they're learning about, [which helps them] build on classroom instruction, gain a better understanding of topics, build cultural understanding and tolerance, and expose them to worlds outside their own.
Participating in field trips is a great way to enjoy a unique learning experience outside a classroom environment. Field trips are not only good fun, they allow students to absorb, interact and immerse themselves in a practical way. ... Every student will benefit from learning outside the classroom, whatever their age.
The objective of all field trips is to expose participants to various parts of their community, facilitate connections between participants and others, and help participants understand themselves as members of their local community.
But Many schools prohibit certain field trips due to costs, safety issues or lack of chaperones. It can prove difficult to organize a field trip and make arrangements for students who cannot afford to go, collect parental consent, budget the transportation needs and find enough parents who will supervise.
As technology become more and more advanced, it tries to give solutions to each and every field. The present invention discloses the system and method for virtual field trips for students by using virtual reality technology.
The invention application will help for field trips for students by using virtual reality application.
Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds.
Virtual reality is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment and educational purposes. Other, distinct types of VR style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the invention is, the system and method for virtual field trips for students by using virtual reality technology.
Another object of the invention is, Virtual reality enabled devices are needed (such as VR headset).
Other object of the invention is, virtual scene is created for field trips which are beneficial to students.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for virtual field trips for students by using virtual reality technology. The invention application is installed at backend server. The application is designed in a such a way that, it creates virtual scene for field trips for the student to learn about various things of world without leaving classroom. The virtual scene includes various aspect of field trips in a such a way that it gives all possible information of field trips to student.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig 1 shows flowchart of the method and computer program for this invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for virtual field trips for students by using virtual reality technology.
The present invention is system and method for virtual field trips for students is comprising of components such as;
Virtual reality enabled headset
Backend server – the application of virtual field trips for student is installed
Wi-Fi modem - for connectivity between backend server and virtual reality enabled devices such as headset
The present invention implemented in a combination of both hardware and software. The present invention discloses the system and method for virtual field trips for students by using virtual reality technology is comprising of;
Step 1) The virtual field trip for student application is installed at backend server
Step 2) Virtual Reality enabled headset is connected with backend server
Step 3) User/student wear Virtual Reality enabled headset
Step 4) Virtual reality headset and virtual reality application stimulate virtual scene of field trips for student
Step 5) Student/user can experience field trip and gain knowledge related to it
This is general overview of system. System is not bounded to this only.
Here by using this invention student/user can experience field trips without leaving classroom.
During a classroom virtual field trip, students can explore places across the high seas, states across our country, and many nearby or far away people, places, and things. This is an opportunity to see and experience the world without ever leaving the classroom. The virtual field trip is cost effective to schools.
The advantages of the presented invention are as follows;
The main advantage of virtual field trip for students is that they can be customized for students and the educational goals.
The virtual field trips deepen students understanding of what they are reading, and that the technology allows writers who might not otherwise go on a traditional book tour to reach readers across the country.
Another benefit of virtual field trip is the ability to travel around the world without a passport.
It provides outstanding visualizations, that aren’t possible in the traditional classroom.
It creates interest in student regarding field trips and also increases student’s engagement.
Student doesn’t feel it is work.
It improves the quality of education in different fields.
It eliminates the language barrier.
Take an example of the invention, suppose student want to go for field trip related to study the climate change effect on agriculture in particular area. Now with the help of this invention, student by wearing just virtual reality enabled headset, can experience he/she is in that area which they want to go for the field trips. And study the field minutely. So, without leaving the classroom, student can visit many places for field trips.
