The CoppeliaSim VR Toolbox provides a set of tools to experience CoppeliaSim robot simulation software in Virtual Reality and to return user interactions. Its primary focus is to create a platform that enables the fast prototyping and verification of robotic systems. Moreover, the generality of the toolbox ensures that it can be valuable in other contexts like robotics education, human–robot interaction or reinforcement learning. The software is designed to have a low entry threshold for moderately complex use cases, but can be extended to perform very complex visualizations for more experienced users.
