This dissertation presents the process of creation, development, testing and results of a Virtual Reality (VR) environment simulator of a plasma membrane and was developed as a didactic resource to assist the teaching-learning relationships of the Cellular and Molecular Biology discipline in higher education. The methodology used was the experimental scientific method, following the observation, problem elaboration, hypothesis raising, experimentation, results analysis and conclusion phases. The software was developed by an interdisciplinary team and made use of agile methodology. As steps of the product construction process, a bibliographic research was carried out, as a theoretical basis, followed by the modeling of the plasma membrane and the animal cell, in the Blender 3D modeling software. Subsequently, the modeling was integrated into the VR environment through the Unity 3D game development engine, culminating in the programming of phospholipid movements, the transport of small substances across the plasma membrane and in forms of user interaction with the game. Virtual environment. For immersion in the cellular environment in VR, the HTC VIVE Óculus VR headset is made up of motion sensors, interaction controls and immersion glasses. The test of the product was conducted with professors of the Cellular and Molecular Biology discipline of the State University of Pará (UEPA), the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Pará (IFPA) and the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). With undergraduate students of the Biomedicine course at UEPA, the Biological Sciences / Undergraduate course at IFPA and UFPA and postgraduates from the UFPA Postgraduate Program in Biology Teaching (PROFBIO). Test data were obtained through questionnaires after contact and use of the VR simulator. From the content analysis it was realized that the simulator was considered an important tool and contributed to facilitate the learning of content related to the structural and functional aspects of the plasma membrane, besides making this learning fun and enjoyable.
