Abstract


With the advances in data communication, high speed internet in terabits per second, and the coming next generation (6G), where the data rate will be very sufficient for virtual reality application such as telepresence and tele-operation, the old-new concept of virtual university will be revolutionized. This paper presents a review for one type of distance learning, which is online synchronous education supported by multimedia and Virtual Reality (VR) or simply a virtual university (VU) or Virtual Classroom (VC). We review the concept of the VU for the past and how it will be in the coming futures. We review, its types, component, and how it will be. Furthermore, we review and discussed next generation VU/VC obstacles in addition to their cons and pros. Moreover, we examine the motivation for establishing VU/VC and the advantages of its availability to the virtual society. Recent advances in computer and communications technology have delivered capabilities to today’s distance learning and virtual classroom. Advances in virtual reality, real-time streaming on the internet have created a revolution in curricula and classrooms. We explain how to integrate multimedia, 3D videos, Virtual Reality (VR), tele-operation, tele-presence, and Internet-based learning technologies into a common framework for the virtual classroom
