Specialists of the Moscow State University M.V. Lomonosov, they are developing a textbook for the school using virtual reality technology, the rector of the university, academician Viktor Sadovnichy, said at the All-Russian Congress of Teachers and Teachers of Mathematics and Informatics. The meeting of the congress was broadcast on its website.
According to Sadovnichy, the use of virtual and augmented reality technology makes it possible to make full-fledged volumetric models from illustrations, and this is especially important, for example, in teaching school stereometry. “Such software products are already being developed, including here, at Moscow University,” the rector said. He explained that schoolchildren now do not like to read paper manuals, so textbooks need to be adapted to the digital environment.
Earlier, Kommersant reported, citing a public procurement website, that the Federal Institute for Digital Transformation in Education (FITSTO, owned by the Ministry of Education) plans to purchase educational content for schoolchildren, including podcasts, videos, quests and computer simulation games for 800 million rubles. It is also planned to purchase simulation games (urban, space, military, biological), interactive maps and dynamic 3D graphics.
