Abstract
Current work demonstrates an usage of the 3D Physics Virtual Laboratory within the teaching process of the students who are getting their bachelor degrees at a technical universities. The main advantages of presented software package is an utilization of the complete simulation of the real world physics in an virtual environment. Additional advantage of work is that it’s flexibility-by-design. The flexibility of the 3D Physics Virtual Laboratory software package is achieved through the completed development loop adapted under agile methodology. The work also shows the overall structure of the components within the software package, technological foundation and description of the laboratory. The Microsoft .NET with it’s framework .NET XNA were used as an software foundation for building core elements of the current 3D Physics Virtual Laboratory.
