Virtual lab: laboratório de química em realidade virtual como ferramenta de apoio ao ensino

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a game for the practice of chemical experiments with Virtual Reality using Android phones as display and controllers. The large capital investment in equipment for chemistry-related practices and the risks involved in laboratory classes, were the motivation to look for a solution that was accessible to all audiences. Research has been done to find the best low-cost solution, but without compromising on quality. The game was implemented with Unreal Engine using information provided by Google and Epic Games, the engine developer.
