    A virtual environment was developed for PC and Android to be used with a desktop display and the Gear VR, respectively. The goal with it is to measure and enhance the spatial skills of people, because the latter can be achieved by solving simple geometric problems. Originally, this virtual environment consisted only of three such tests, namely the Mental Rotation Test, Mental Cutting Test and Purdue Spatial Visualization Test. Measurements were done in the past with these tests, but now the Heinrich Spatial Visualization Test is also included in the virtual environment. In this paper, its implementation and future measurement plan are presented.

    In the framework of the project EFOP-3.6.1-16-2016-00022 00022 „Debrecen Venture Catapult Program”t workshops are held in secondary schools in order to show for the students that the precise knowledge about the mathematical backgrounds is an important part of the engineers works. We give lot of examples in our environment for appearing of quadratic surfaces; for instance in architecture, in mechanical engineering life (gear– wheels, twist drills,…etc.).The development of geometrical spatial ability happen by the help of using 3D animations, moreover we investigate the changing of the shape of surfaces by mathematical shoftwares. We are going to built hyperboloid of one sheet and hyperbolic paraboloid.

    Spatial visualization skills have an important role in teaching and learning of engineering studies. Many studies have shown that there are correlations between various measures of spatial skills and performance in particular Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Many engineering students have problems with imagining a spatial figure and therefore to solve the spatial geometry exercises, so development of spatial ability is very important. We have developed special tools and worksheets for development of spatial abilities
