The book is designed for information technologists, educational researchers, teachers, policymakers, government officials, and business managers.
Description
Virtual reality (VR) technology has thoroughly transformed education by providing engaging and immersive ways for students to experience their education and by offering visual learning, creative development, etc., to enhance their studies. Moreover, with increasing accessibility, both students and educators can utilize it for effective teaching and learning. By embracing this VR-related technology, teachers can transform traditional classrooms into lively ones. Businesses can also leverage VR for skilling, up-skilling, and re-skilling.
This book is divided into two parts. Part I discusses the opportunities, challenges, and application of VR technology, and Part II focuses on reimagining education with the metaverse.
Readers will find in this book:
• a description of the relationship between virtual reality and student behavior;
• a review of VR-enabled tools and techniques for an immersive environment;
• a discussion on VR in the context of vocational education by developing a conceptual framework and roadmap for its adoption;
• an overview of the advantages, disadvantages, and mechanisms of VR through a detailed analysis showing a comparison of the strong and weak points of the technologies being used in education;
• a look at the future of learning in the context of VR;
• a description of the relevance of VR in emerging economies with the help of bibliometric analysis and discusses its future potential;
• a review of Metaverse as a new education avatar showcasing diverse educational experiences and how to reimagine teaching;
• an explanation of the relevance of emerging digital technologies in upskilling employees in fashion retail to impart an immersive experience for customers;
• a proposed framework for mapping the use of VR for students with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD).
