Although virtual reality labs can potentially be usedin the several educational settings, one application explored in this paper for which VR labs areeminently suited involves using them for supplementation of physical laboratories. Students inthis modality use the VR lab for pre-lab practice sessions prior to conducting a physicalexperiment. This application is expected to enhance students’ knowledge of physical experiment,pertaining to objectives, procedure and data collection.
