Everyday, scientists collect plenty of data to analyze in order to come up with some hypotheses. Since we live in a three-dimensional world, much of the information comes from events that are inherently three dimensional. Biologists can build 3-D models of genes. VR also helps researchers to create interactive simulations of scientific phenomena.
Students also can take advantages of virtual reality.
Reading textbook to understand the concept of gravity is one thing. Exploring through the worlds of zero gravity is another. As they say, 'seeing is believing'. Virtual reality is a new and effective tool for studies and researches in science. Below are two examples of applications of virtual reality in science that currently exist.
