ABOUT THE PROJECT
About ORS VR Lab ProjectVirtual LaboratoryOngkharak School
A pilot initiative developing immersive Virtual Reality (VR) science educational media for secondary education to elevate basic education toward global standards.
Background & Rationale
Background & Origin of the Project
Grant & Funding Support : This project has received promotion, support, and assistance for the development of digital economy and society, along with research and development grant funding from the Digital Economy and Society Development Fund (DEF Fund), pursuant to the agreement for the promotion, support, and assistance of digital economy and society development.
Vision : Focusing on utilizing advanced digital technologies (Immersive Technology / Virtual Reality) to address and overcome inequality in accessing science laboratories, enabling students to conduct complex, hazardous, or high-cost experiments safely and with unlimited repetitions.
Prototype School
Role of Ongkharak School: Prototype Learning Center
Pilot Prototype School : Ongkharak School, under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Prachinburi Nakhon Nayok, was selected as a prototype educational institution (Pilot School) for the installation and implementation of the ORS VR Lab virtual classroom system.
Expansion & Scaling Goals : To serve as a benchmark model for virtual reality science education, ready to transfer knowledge and synthesize lessons learned from this pilot initiative to scale and expand to secondary schools nationwide in the future.
