SUMMARY:ChemistryVR: Enhancing Educational Experiences through Virtual Che
 mistry Lab Simulations
DESCRIPTION:Educator's Forum\n\nGuanxuan Jiang (Hong Kong University of Sc
 ience and Technology, Guangzhou; University of Sheffield); Xuansheng Xia (
 Boston University, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University); Yue Li (Xi'an Jia
 otong-Liverpool University); Hai-Ning Liang (Hong Kong University of Scien
 ce and Technology, Guangzhou; Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University); and Pa
 n Hui (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Guangzhou)\n\nExper
 iments are an essential component of chemistry education. However, they of
 ten demand significant equipment and space and can sometimes pose safety r
 isks. Immersive and interactive simulations in Virtual Reality (VR) offer 
 a solution to these challenges. Therefore, we developed a virtual laborato
 ry based on the ninth-grade chemistry textbook published by the People's E
 ducation Press in China. The system includes safety training and step-by-s
 tep tutorials, enabling students to learn through interactive simulations 
 and observations of realistic experimental phenomena in a safe environment
 . Hands-on practice of chemistry experiments in VR helps prevent dangerous
  and unexpected outcomes caused by experimental errors. Our system provide
 s a risk-free approach that effectively supports practice-led and experien
 tial learning in chemistry. Additionally, our system integrates theoretica
 l knowledge with practical applications, aligning meticulously with the of
 ficial textbook. This comprehensive approach enables students to seamlessl
 y transition from theory to practice, enhancing their understanding of che
 mistry concepts. Consequently, students are better prepared for both stand
 ardized assessments and real-world laboratory experiences.\n\nRegistration
