Abstract

This paper describes the application of virtual reality technology to the development of an educational model related to the construction of a bridge. The model allow the visualization of the physical progression of the work following a planned construction sequence, the observation of details of the form of every component of the works and carry the study of the type and method of operation of the equipment applied in the construction. The model admit interaction and then some degree of collaboration between students and teachers in the analyses of aspects concerning geometric forms, working methodology or other technical issues observed using the application. The model presents distinct advantage as educational aids in first-degree courses in Civil Engineering.
