Annotation -
The project is based on an innovative training course in the field of chemistry and industrial chemistry thanks to the use of different types of virtual reality (VR) pieces of software for an immersive experience within the reproduction of chemistry laboratories, an industrial chemistry plant and investigation of structure of molecules. The opportunity to handle three different VR tools will be proposed to students: a molecular chemical laboratory (Nanome, https://nanome.ai/), an inorganic analytical chemistry laboratory (LabSim, https://nova.disfarm.unimi.it/labsim) and a Crude Distillation Unit industrial plant (Eyesim, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compchemeng.2020.106973). Students will use these immersive programs in rooms equipped with VR workstations. During virtual exercises, specifically prepared according to educational goals, students will collect information and data that will require their interpretation, analysis and discussion in working teams to promote not only their learning but also their soft skills and critical thinking.
