Regularly, they use objects such as viewing helmets and projections views rooms to help in the immersion.  Interaction: this idea is related to the computers ability to detect the user input and modify immediately the virtual world and the actions on it (reactive capacity).  Involvement: is related to the motivation degree to a person engagement with a particular activity.

Software in distance education: An application using Virtual Reality

This paper presents an educational software for the discipline of Formal Languages. With a simple interface, easy to understand and use, will present exercises where the student will see the robots in 3D and should be developed to minimize the automaton interacting directly with the 3D object and are supported by staff who have the ability to direct the User to perform task at hand. For the design of robots, the software uses 3D tools such as Blender and VRML and the development of education agents be used with the programming language PHP.
