  • Abstract
    The teaching of computer networks faces a number of difficulties due to low production of texts and teaching resources, and the lack of availability of laboratories for practical classes. Thus, this paper presents the SwImax, a tool developed using virtual reality technology to teach concepts related to protocols for wireless networks. This solution was focused in the IEEE 802.16 protocol, also known as WiMAX. The tool was developed using the Unity 3D as game engine and the Autodesk 3ds Max 9 as 3D modeling software.
