Abstract: Multimedia applications have substantially influenced education. They give teachers an excellent chance to demonstrate and visualize the subject matter more clearly and comprehensibly, as well as also enabling them to prepare study material for students which optimizes their study habits. The top applications of multimedia are represented by virtual reality.
There are large software products dealing with wide spectrum of objects developed by a team of professionals. However there are also various smaller programs dealing with objects appropriate to a subject created on a script given by the teacher with regard to students needs. We have prepared with our students such multimedia applications dealing with objects appropriate to subject matter for many years.
We will introduce the two most important applications used not only as a complement of our lectures for demonstration and visualization the explained matter to be much clearer and comprehensible, but also for creation an interesting study material located within the virtual study environment for self-preparation of students.
