Nevertheless, the theory&#8217;s non-intuitive implications continue to pose conceptual challenges for novice physicists. In this thesis, we propose a virtual reality solution based on the development of a Unity package capable of simulating the effects of relativity in a digital environment. The current implementation includes the representation of space contraction, time dilation and relativistic Doppler effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The primary focus lies in the accurate representation of relativistic laws, as well as in computational efficiency and in the modeling of a user interface specifically crafted to enhance understanding and interactivity. The package significantly reduces developer workload through a streamlined API, enabling maximum freedom in the development of virtual scenarios. Design goals are validated by a testing phase conducted through dedicated probe scenes. To showcase the potential of this work, we also present the deployment of a VR application built on top of the package, that transports users in experiencing relativistic effects in real-life scenarios.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The application is scheduled to be used by Master&#8217;s students in Physical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. In the meanwhile, other educational areas of expansion are being considered, suggesting a promising future in the direction of this work.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Attivit\u00e0<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/?page_id=7078\">Realt\u00e0 virtuale<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2023-2024 VirtualRelativity: an interactive simulation of the special theory of relativity in virtual reality Tesista: Alberto Boffi Relatore: Ezio Puppin Correlatore: Maurizio Contran Controrelatore: Maurizio Zani Tesi di laurea magistrale &#8211; handle 217718 &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Abstract: The Special Theory of Relativity, introduced by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, marked a radical shift in our &#8230; <a title=\"(2023-2024) Alberto Boffi\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/?page_id=9259\" aria-label=\"Per saperne di pi\u00f9 su (2023-2024) Alberto Boffi\">Leggi tutto<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":8519,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9259","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9259"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9259\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9263,"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9259\/revisions\/9263"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st2.fisi.polimi.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
