MAROON is a virtual laboratory and learning management system. Learning software allows users to access the learning environment directly by means of virtual reality. In this way experiences can be had which otherwise would not be possible. Also, persons with low attention spans can learn in a more concentrated way. A test phase will run in several schools at the beginning of 2019. On Johanna Pirker's desk there are three monitors, a keyboard and mouse and virtual reality equipment: an HTC Vive headset with two controllers. It is noticeable here that the virtual and real worlds are colliding - with astounding results in learning success.
