Abstract

This paper proposes a simulation-based learning support system that animates virtual environment in synchronization with a human's location and actions. The system provides learners with the sense that they have entered the virtual environment. The aim of the proposed system is to experience environment which we can't experience actually and to improve the interest and understanding about it. Obviously, it is impossible for learners to experience the actual past environment, and it is therefore difficult for them to understand this environment. This difficulty can be decreased by the proposed system, which provides learners with sense of immersion due to real body experience. As an evaluation, we conduct an experiment using the system, and interview the participants about the immersion. The experimental results confirm that most learners feel a tangible sense of immersion into the environment.
