Item Transforming Geosciences Education Through Immersive Virtual Reality(Northern Kentucky University) Malley, Sean; Dixit, Nilesh Dr"With the Covid-19 pandemic, the need for easy to implement solutions to enhance online learning is paramount. With more lockdowns on the way, I have created an example of a workflow that any NKU staff could follow to create a virtual field trip or immersive 3D lecture using inexpensive and available Google Cardboard VR and YoutubeVR as well as the Vuze XR Camera."Item Transforming Geosciences Education Through Immersive Virtual Reality(Northern Kentucky University) Malley, SeanThe main goal of the project is to develop 3D immersive geological models that can be easily implemented into online and classroom-based lessons. VR experiences would not only reduce travel costs but also would increase in-class participation of students. We selected Carter-Caves as our field area to test VR technologies. Recorded data were processed to create low-cost, high-quality virtual models. Preliminary results suggest that many factors influence the quality and extent of 3D environments. Here we discuss some of the major factors including sensor type, recording platform, field environments, videography, processing techniques and rock type.
