Virtual Reality (VR) has always been a field of interest and various applications in different industries have been developed. VR can possibly serve as the future of the education industry. This study aimed to investigate if Mid-Air Interaction via VR devices such as the Leap Motion Controller can perform more efficiently as compared to conventional shape modelling software such as Autodesk Maya in completing a set of shape modelling task. Therefore, this tests the feasibility of using VR devices to facilitate the teaching of Computer Graphics. The Mid-Air Interaction method was implemented with the Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML). Subjects were invited as participants to complete a set of tasks and the statistics obtained were compared with a set of results that was previously obtained from a completed user study. The results obtained showed that the proposed Mid-Air Interaction method outperformed the conventional working with the mouse and keyboard significantly. This study revealed that VR can be used as a possible direction for the education industry and there can be further explorations into other similar fields.
