“…The requirements are input, output, and the interaction [24]. Interaction in VR systems is essential because it "outlines the mapping path between the user and the VR environment and determines how the environment will react when the user interacts using the input devices" [31]. The interaction technique gives the users the ability to navigate and travel in the virtual environment.…”

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has been used widely today in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The VR is emerging computer interface distinguished by high degrees of immersion, trustworthy, and interaction. The goal of VR is making the user believe, as much as possible, that he is within the computergenerated environment. The VR has become one of the important technologies to be discussed regarding its applications, usage, and its different types that can achieve huge benefits in the real world. This survey paper introduces detail information about VR systems and requirements to build correct VR environment. Moreover, this work presents a comparison between system types of VR. Then, it presents the tools and software used for building VR environments. After that, we epitomize a road of the map for selecting appropriate VR system according to the field of applications. Finally, we introduce the conclusion and future predictions to develop the VR systems.

Education plays a vital role in the success of any community. Countries with increased literacy rate have improved their status on the world map. In recent years, the use of e-learning methodologies has been significant. However, majority of the previous methodologies are focused on the formal education or toddlers. The technoliteracy solutions for children are not suitable for adults and those designed specifically for adults are text dominant and require the users of these applications to be functional literate. Moreover, users' interest (sense of belonging) is not taken into consideration in existing solutions. To address the aforementioned issues, a user study is conducted to collect users' interests. Another highlight of our study is that we develop our system as a mobile device application to facilitate our target user group. Based on the collected interests, a 3D virtual learning environment is designed and developed for adult illiterate learners. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed environment, an experimental study is carried out with users. The results show that the proposed learning environment significantly improves adults learning.

Applications of virtual reality in E-Learning are gaining more popularity due to its interactive characteristics of virtual environments that can be offered. One unique example of this application is the use of virtual manipulatives, since they can be implemented on PCs economically for teaching students interactively in schools and universities. They enable students to learn mathematics thoroughly by easily providing computer-generated dynamic objects, allowing them to explore abstract mathematical concepts in a handson mode experince. In this paper, an implemented virtual reality based math virtual manipulatives is presented. A cognitive virtual reality learning model is also introduced. Performance evaluation of the virtual manipulatives, for several case studies, is achieved. Comparisons between the 2- Dimensions (2D) Java applets from National Library Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) and the developed Java 3D Virtual Reality Math Manipulatives (VRMM) cases are performed. Results of the practical analysis for student grades show that VR enhances student learning of addition and subtraction operations in the VRMM, and it achieves superior results than the NLVM.
