Implementación de una Aula virtual inmersiva en VR como alternativa a plataformas de comunicación convencionales

Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of an immersive virtual classroom developed in Unity for Meta Quest devices, integrating multiple interactive tools to replicate the experience of an in-person class in a three-dimensional environment. The system includes a realistic VR environment, a whiteboard for real-time collaborative writing, a presentation viewer capable of displaying images, PDF, and PPTX files, and fully interactive tools such as a virtual marker and eraser. Network integration was achieved using Photon Fusion 2.0, enabling synchronized multi-user sessions with low latency. Additional modules were implemented, including a complete avatar system with head and hand tracking via the Meta XR SDK (v76) and AutoHand for physically-based interactions, as well as a voice chat system using Photon Voice for real-time communication. A permissions management system allows the host to grant or revoke presentation rights and mute participants via in-world UI elements embedded in avatars. The proposed solution offers a scalable, interactive, and realistic alternative for remote education, aiming to enhance engagement and presence in virtual learning spaces.
