One way to utilize the ability of virtual reality in education is simulating difficult, impossible, or dangerous things to do in real life. Because virtual models are very accurate, VR provides an opportunity to educate and train high-quality specialists in the most complex fields, ranging from technical maintenance and drugs.
For example, VR applications have significantly improved the security of medical studies. Human anatomy is a difficult subject, and in the best-case scenario, students may have the opportunity to practice operations once in the corpse before carrying out the actual operation. With VR, surgical training is increased by providing realistic simulations for various types of surgical procedures. Immediately, doctors and students will be able to make models and test theories and scenarios that they cannot do in 'classic ways' using a corpse.
Virtual Reality Learning Center J and K at Western University Health Sciences has used an innovative VR-based curriculum model since 2015. They use an oculus rift to 'shrink' students who study human anatomy to microscopic size, allowing students to "roller-coaster" through the body Humans with simultaneous tour guide narratives.
Another possibility involves field visits to places that are difficult to visit in the real world due to logistical problems and safety. For example, Google Expeditions offers tours made by leading institutions throughout the world. Students can now easily visit Louvre or Mount Everest or explore tornadoes or honeycombs from the relative ease and safety of the classroom. The VR expedition application also allows users to make their own virtual field visits. Titans The room claims better than a trip to the planetarium. This is a virtual solar system tour with very accurate visuals with many facts narrated by the guide. Somewhat similar is the Discovery VR application that allows users to dip time, history, and space via a 360-degree video that is immersive, 'from a sharked shipboard to free the driest streets. The same applies to travel time back to significant historical events such as Prime, Pearl Port, Dunkirk, or Viking Age.
The application of virtual reality education has the potential to affect many professions. Students can use VR simulations for a better understanding of what career is interesting for them. After that, during vocational training, the reality of virtual and augmented will help them too. Platforms such as VIAR360 can provide future mechanisms with clear interactive visuals from car engines from all corners while sitting in class.
Art, design, and architecture can be easier to learn with the help of virtual reality. Students can build and design their own constructor re-create historic sites. Instead of visiting the museum or seeing photos of famous statues, art students can observe this artwork with very detail by manipulating and moving it through the VR application.
VR can be used to educate and help students with special needs. The VR application can create a social situation where students can practice daily routine skills in a safe environment. For example, this method eliminates a lot of risk of real-world situations for students with autism spectrum disorders. These examples include grocery stores, public transportation, or hair trim. Such a VR scenario can provide a similar real-world situation and reduce the stress that can be caused in real life.
