As virtual reality (VR) technology improves, the impact VR has on other areas, such as education, also improves. Educational VR applications provide support to students with an immersive environment in which such an environment may not be available. This paper as a student project focuses on the development of an educational VR application focused on the topic of optics. Ideas like collaboration between computer science students and physics educators, accessibility, and learning theories are explored. A pilot study with six participants was conducted, offering insight into the effectiveness of the educational VR application. The results gathered from the pilot study, limitations faced, and future research directions discussed offer a basis for researchers interested in educational VR work.
