Abstract :
Virtual reality has been successful used in real estate, urban planning and video games etc. In this paper, we proposed to build an interactive virtual e-learning environment using virtual reality technologies. With the help of multi-modal user interface, students can control their avatars to interactively communicate with virtual teachers and environment. This interactive e-learning environment can increase the autonomy of students and enhance students´ interest in learning.
