摘要：Virtual Reality applications have known an accelerated development in the past few years stimulated by the advancements in the hardware capabilities and also by the benefits from the similarity with the real world. However, the available solutions for immersive VR are still very expensive and often lack the friendliness expected on user interaction techniques. In this paper we will present a low cost, immersive, VR capable setup based on two new technologies: Google Cardboard and Leap Motion. The proposed solution is showcased using an educational application that allows its users to virtually visit Elmwood Park Zoo, Pennsylvania and learn more on the wild animals in the process. Most of the user interactions are performed through hand described gestures inspired from the real world, helping the users to accommodate more easily and perform naturally in the virtual environment.
