Virtual reality (VR) in education is a markedly present subject in research institutions

in many countries. This paper will discuss the application of VR techniques, including

the use of computer graphics and three-dimensional (3D) video production.

Stereoscopy is a key point for the visualization of these applications. The system

developed uses a 3D lens, a home camera, common video edition software, two low

cost projectors, light polarized filters and cheap 3D eyeglasses. During the 3D video

production, the aim was to evaluate all the involved process, since the elaboration of

scr ipts, video capture and projection until the costs to build the system. This is

important to demonstrate for educational institutions the advantages in adopting

resources of VR for the improvement of learning.
