Abstract

A gas burner is often used in science experiments in Japanese lower secondary school education, and its correct operating procedures are included in the study content. However, students are given only inadequate learning opportunities for the operating procedures with the actual gas burner, due to time and instrumentation constraints. Therefore, this article proposes an operation learning system of a gas burner using virtual reality technology with high realistic sense to supplement the learning with the real one. The proposed system provides interactivity through a dial controller and a pair of hand controllers as an input device, and a stereoscopic HMD as an output device. The dial controller imitates an adjusting screw, so that a learner can easily get a realistic sense of turning screws for air and gas. Also judging whether the user’s operation is correct or not, the system displays necessary information on the virtual scene of the gas burner for learning to promote the learner’s understanding.
