VR MacroWorld is a macro world in which a robot navigates around a series of blocks.
VR MacroWorld brings to the classroom an easy to use interface with a realistic 3D graphical robot at an affordable price.
This program is useful to demonstrate the principles behind a robot and enable students to write control programs. The robot is simulated walking.
A macro world is built up by placing objects onto a virtual base, these objects are walls and blocks.
The robot stops working when it collides with an object. Lines maybe placed on the base enabling the robot to be programmed to follow them.
The student Controls the robot by clicking on icons that enable the robot to walk forwards and backwards, right and left at any angle.

A powerful programming language is included that allows a script of commands to control the robot. The language uses simple commands that students can get to grips with quickly. VR MacroWorld is specially designed for use in the classroom, this is reflected in the easy to use programming language, Programs contain primitive commands such as: -
FORWARD 5
RIGHT 90
