| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A VR solar power plant was designed using Unity, informed by the expertise of a solar power company. Data from a real-world solar plant was then captured and viewed in real-time as a 3D visualization within SolarVR. The Oculus Rift HMD was used for viewing the developed virtual solar plant. A local solar panel was physically set up to capture data of temperature (C), humidity (%), power (W), voltage (V), and current (A), recorded from the MPPT Controller to a web-based Dashboard programmed using NODE-Red. The data was sent to an Azure server database and then streamed direct to the SolarVR Unity Project to be viewed in a custom-designed 3D Visualization. Learners progress through five modes as they gain experience: receptive, analytic, productive, development, and psychosocial.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Varying 3D displays of voltage, current, inductance and power promoted inter and intra-cognitive communication of 3D data. It was determined that learners progress through five modes as they gain experience: receptive, analytic, productive, development, and psychosocial.
