This article presents the steps of the creation of an educational software aimed at learning physics, more specifically of angular momentum magnitude, done with Virtual and Augmented Reality (AVR). The theoretical contributions adopted were the Cognitive Load Theory (CBT) and the Visualization in Science Teaching with a view to acting as facilitators of the teaching-learning process of the angular momentum topic. The central focus is the presentation of the creation of the visualization object called RVA_360 - Momento Angular, where it is also sought to socialize the computational aspects that involved the creation of said software. It can be characterized by full immersion with the "oculus Rift" RV viewer and the tool versions available with a realistic semi-immersivity, available even for Android phones. The article also presents the validations of the RVA_360 tool, made by physics teachers who teach this topic and who adopt some type of visualization object in their classes.
