This project undertakes the development of "VR Playgrounds," an interactive and collaborative multiplayer Virtual Reality (VR) platform aimed at enhancing educational engagement. Addressing the limitations of traditional learning methods and the high cost or individual focus of existing VR solutions, this initiative leverages VR technology to create accessible, engaging, and team-oriented learning experiences. Developed using Unity Engine, C#, and Photon Unity Networking (PUN), the platform is optimized for the Meta Quest 2 headset. It features small-scale multiplayer games designed with specific learning objectives, encouraging teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The system incorporates intuitive VR interactions via the XR Interaction Toolkit and includes performance analytics for feedback and refinement. By democratizing immersive learning and blending education with entertainment, this project aims to provide a scalable and innovative tool for both educational institutions and individual students, fostering creativity and collaborative skills in a virtual environment.
