Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to be an effective tool to enhance and support a variety of educational activities. QuickTime VR (QTVR), developed by Apple Computer Corporation, is a technology for creating and moving through virtual environments. QTVR provides a number of advantages over "traditional" VR. These include lower cost of the development software as well as the hardware required to run it and it does nor require advanced training or programming skills. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of using QTVR as a virtual environment to train students with special needs in developing life skills.
