Abstract

The paper illustrates the efforts spent and the results obtained when introducing virtual reality in education and training both in academic and industrial environment. The project has been developed on the VMSLab-G portal (http://www.vmslab.org) and is part of an ongoing effort in exploiting Virtual Reality, at both meter (HVR, Human Virtual Reality) and nanometer (MVR, Molecular Virtual Reality) for training and education.
