system that is capable of providing Tracking and semi-immersive capabilities at reasonable costs. This is a versatile VR system that is a good trade-offbetween high-end systems like CAVE that may be extremely expensive and low-end systemslike dVR which lack immersion and intuitive interaction. Faculty members do not need intensivetraining to use the systems as the system is based on intuitive skills such as navigation andimmersion. Some of the prominent applications of the pdVR system are listed below.This system can be used to● Demonstrate visualization, animations, and simulation applications to schools.

Pedagogically, it allows students to get at least simple results immediately, with incremental growth from that point. 2. Maple has a large library of STEM procedures, permitting use of sophisticated technical computing without extensive user programming. Typical small-scale software development consists of writing the scripting connecting invocations of library procedures, and providing the user interface programming that allows facile comprehension of computed results through tabular listing, plots and animations, etc. 3.
