Abstract
The use of virtual environments in education and research has increased due to the covid pandemia, because students need to develop skills that are acquired in physical laboratories. For this reason, this research presents the design of a virtual reality (VR) didactic module of electro-pneumatics FESTO™ cylinders developed in Unity 3D™ software, which allows the manipulation of pneumatic systems within the simulation. The virtual environment works synchronously with the real module, transmitting instructions using the Constrained Application Protocol (CoaP) to a Raspberry PI card that controls the real pneumatic system. This type of application allows students to perform practices with greater freedom and without restrictions, and without the need to be in a laboratory to use the required equipment and resources.
