A VR solar power plant was designed using Unity, informed by the expertise of MYSOLAR 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 in order to capture data of temperature (C), humidity (%), power (W), voltage (V), and current (A), uploaded to a dedicated Microsoft Azure database. Data was collected by Arduino sensors connected to a Raspberry Pi which acted as the combiner box. In addition, solar power, voltage and current, along with load power and current were recorded from the MPPT Controller to a web-based Dashboard programmed using NODE-Red, a browser-based flow editor built on Node.js. The data from the Raspberry Pi and the PC Dashboard were sent to the Azure server database and then streamed direct to the SolarVR Unity Project to be viewed in a custom-designed 3D Visualization. Without access to participants in 2020, due to the coronavirus and prohibitions of face-to-face and regular interactions with students, learning data through tasks of increasing complexity could not be acquired. Therefore, further theorization of learning in VR was undertaken. This included utilizing Gibbons and Hopkins’ Scale of Experientiality. It is reasoned that the quantitative biometric data of the research participants and insights from the experiential qualitative data from the student developers can be used to determine the efficacy of VR for education.
