VR Use Case Catalogue

Use Case Catalogue Introduction

The Virtual Reality Use Case Catalogue is a constantly growing collection of activities at universities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that deal with the topic of virtual reality in higher education teaching.

The catalogue aims to support new projects, teachers, and interested people...

by helping them to find contacts in different disciplines or in their own department or faculties,
by informing them about activities related to virtual reality in higher education teaching in their disciplines,
to find inspiration for their own plans and projects,
to serve as a networking tool.

We would like to thank all the people, projects and institutions for their kind permission to be included in the Use Case Catalogue!

(Anti-)discrimination at the workplace - changing perspectives with virtual reality As part of a seminar, students develop scripts and short film sequences on various everyday situations in companies that are experienced in terms of one dimension of discrimination. A change of perspective is used to sensitise students to everyday discrimination on an emotional level. _{Focus: Diversity management, Religion and Education} Go to the Project »	AG Virtual Reality-Simulation in Medical School Together with the 3D visualisation company ThreeDee (Munich), this working group developed the VR-based emergency simulation STEP-VR. The aim is to enable students to prioritise tasks and make clinical decisions quickly before they start their careers. The training will be integrated into the curriculum of the internal medicine practical clerkship from the winter semester 2020. Focus: Medicine Go to the Working Group »	BrainBuilder In virtual reality, the complex anatomy of insect brains is presented in three dimensions and can be explored in a playful way.
