Form of Representation Suited for VR: Coding World

I’ve always been attracted to VR simulations that go beyond entertainment. I firmly believe that the possibilities for VR are limitless and such can be used to solve problems that hinder humans all over the world.  Therefore, I believe that the best VR simulation that can be implemented is educational. Ever since I was a kid, I considered myself to be a visual learner. Despite the fact that I can understand things on a superficial level just by listening, all information that is cemented in my brain has some form of visual representation attached to it. The same applies nowadays as I am studying Data Structures and Algorithms. I always need to spend time making drawings and concept maps in order to fully understand the concepts in class. Some of the concepts are really difficult to follow just by listening to a lecture and a virtual 3D animation of concepts like recursion, binary trees, and sorting algorithms will best be understood by learners all over the world who struggle with these concepts. This world will resemble those platforms like Scratch that teach programming to kids but will match the complexity of higher level programming concepts and algorithms with a medium like virtual reality which will much better represents the concepts.
