Abstract

Since they are an important educational method, online virtual experiments systems have been developed in recent years.  For the sake of aiding the education of undergraduate’s experiments, we have developed an infrastructure of Web-Based VR-Form Virtual Laboratory (WBVL).  Using this infrastructure, we have successfully implemented several virtual chemical experiments.  WBVL’s features, system structure, set-up, and operational model are described in this paper.
