The definition of virtual reality comes from the definitions for both “virtual” and “reality” naturally. The definiton of virtual is near and reality is what we experience as human beings. So the term virtual reality means “near reality”. This could mean anything about but it usually refers to a specific type of reality emulation.
There are a lot of applications for virtual reality : Architecture, Medicine, Entertainment, Sport, Art and Education.
I want to give brief information about virtual reality in education.
Introducing a whole new concept in educational
technology: a ‘standalone’ Virtual Reality headset complete with a unique student-friendly interface, gesture controls, embedded educational resources and simple-to-use teacher controls. ClassVR is a groundbreaking new technology designed to help raise engagement and increase knowledge retention for students of all age.
The strongest proof that virtual reality can make good for the education system is, in a way, the human brain. The fact is that the brain tends to remember 10% of what it reads, 20% of what it hears, and 90% of what it does or simulates.
• Virtual Fields Trips
The most common and obvious use of VR is providing the ability of virtual visits to distant or physically inaccessible places.
• Special Education
For people with the physical disabilities studying and exploring the world through a VR headset is a great option to get educated.
• Content Creation
Currently, virtual reality courses are most often created for the science and history classes. Though in fact, the virtual format can be applied to any subject and theme.
• Medical Programs
The big part of investments in VR education is directed towards training medical students and personnel. Different trainee programs are aimed to prepare doctors and nurses, and simulations help practice different clinical cases and improve skills.
• Distant Learning
With VR, online learning becomes more convenient and can even provide the sense of presence. Potentially, virtual classes have a chance to compete with traditional schools, but only as soon as VR becomes affordable.
