论文摘要
由于这种过程需要非常抽象的概念（例如原子，化学键，分子结构，反应性），因此无法通过我们的感官缩减化学教学和理解化学体验分子世界的可能性。虚拟现实，尤其是基于明确的物理建模（可能是实时的）时，可以解决这一难题。化学教学可以利用高级技术，例如虚拟现实框架和触觉设备。我们展示了如何应用沉浸式学习设置来通过提供比传统学习环境更直观的方法来帮助学生理解典型化学反应的核心概念。我们的设置依赖于对化学系统的互动探索和操纵。该系统通过量子化学方法实时模拟，因此以身体有意义的方式进行。
The impossibility of experiencing the molecular world with our senses hampers teaching and understanding chemistry because very abstract concepts (such as atoms, chemical bonds, molecular structure, reactivity) are required for this process. Virtual reality, especially when based on explicit physical modeling (potentially in real time), offers a solution to this dilemma. Chemistry teaching can make use of advanced technologies such as virtual-reality frameworks and haptic devices. We show how an immersive learning setting could be applied to help students understand the core concepts of typical chemical reactions by offering a much more intuitive approach than traditional learning settings. Our setting relies on an interactive exploration and manipulation of a chemical system; this system is simulated in real-time with quantum chemical methods, and therefore, behaves in a physically meaningful way.
