This paper investigates the use of WebGL (Web-based Graphics Library)-based interactive graphics technologies in realization of an immersive virtual reality (VR) platform for hands-on laboratory instruction in distance engineering education. Realizing the fact that the Web and 3D graphics are currently ubiquitous in desktop and mobile devices, we present a proof-of-concept approach that provides an inexpensive alternative of complex and costly immersive VR simulators. A prototype implementation of the proposed approach is also presented in order to demonstrate the convenience of VR platform in distance education in engineering technology.
