Description:

The goal of the CodeVR project is to address the issue of the lack of software developers joining the field, and ultimately help more students feel confident in pursuing a career in Computer Science. Users in the CodeVR environment will be able to interact with pre-designed animations that will showcase the flow of execution of common sorting algorithms as visual representations. The application provides a hand tool for an interactive user experience and more flexible interactions with objects in the virtual environment. The 3D virtual objects that a user can interact with are based off a custom CodeVR language which was implemented specifically for this project. Additionally, this release of CodeVR 1.0 features a source to source compiler that allows generated CodeVR source code to be translated into Python.
