Abstract

Virtual reality is the way of the future. The use of virtual reality is expanding over time across all sectors, from the entertainment industry to the military and space. VREd is a similar concept where a virtual reality-based classroom is used for online education where the user will have better interaction and more control. Unity3D and WebGL software have been used for implementation. Students or learners accustomed to contemporary technologies may find the traditional educational system unappealing because of its flaws. Incorporating the latest technologies can increase the curiosity and learning abilities of students. The system architecture of VREd is similar to that of an actual classroom, allowing both students and teachers to access all of the course materials and interact with one another using only an internet connection. The environment and the background are also customizable. Therefore, all the users can comfortably use the system and feel at home. We can create an effective educational system that raises educational quality by utilizing virtual reality.
